Abdel Latif Wahba, Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) Ethiopia told the United Nations Security Council that Egypt and Sudan arenât negotiating in good faith and asked members to urge the governments to return to talks on a controversial Nile dam, according to a post on Twitter by Ethiopiaâs Foreign Ministry.
In an April 16 letter, Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen said the Security Council had supported the African Union-led talks on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam but Egypt and Sudan were âscuttlingâ talks about the damâs filling and operations, and âinternationalizingâ the issue to increase pressure Ethiopia.
