Following the stalled talks in Kinshasa, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned Ethiopia that his country would not allow a \u201csingle drop\u201d of its water to be taken and that all options\u00a0\u201care open\u201d to deal with the Ethiopian dam crisis.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sudan’s Irrigation and Water Resources Minister Yasir Abbas warned that any unilateral move by Ethiopia to fill the dam will affect Sudan\u2019s \u201cnational security\u201d and will have \u201cregional repercussions\u201d.<\/p>\n

With the sharpening of the statements from the three sides, the Ethiopian Minister of Water, Irrigation, and Energy Seleshi Bekele extended a formal invitation on Saturday to Sudan and Egypt to nominate dam operators to exchange data before a second filling of the GERD begins in July.<\/p>\n

Both Egypt and Sudan rejected the Ethiopian offer for data sharing, demanding it is preceded by a legally binding agreement.<\/p>\n

“It is clear that the Ethiopian offer is an attempt to ease Sudanese, regional and international pressure on Addis Ababa,\u201d an official with the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Anadolu Agency. He added that any sharing of information without a binding legal agreement is like \u201ca grant or charity\u201d Ethiopia offers which it can cancel whenever it wishes.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Sudan\u2019s chief negotiator in the\u00a0Nile dam\u00a0talks, Mustafa Hussein Al-Zubair, called on the AU to change the negotiation mechanism and methodology, noting that his country will not participate in \u2018barren\u2019 negotiations that have proven to be futile.<\/p>\n

He reiterated Sudan\u2019s call for the formation of a quartet of international partners \u2013 the AU, EU, UN, and the US \u2013 to take part in mediation efforts. Ethiopia has already rejected the offer last month.<\/p>\n

With the failure of the latest talks in Kinshasa, Sudan and Egypt have left the \u201cdoor open\u201d for other options if Ethiopia unilaterally proceeds with its second filling of the dam.<\/p>\n

Analysts believe that a military option, though difficult, is a possible option that Sudan and Egypt may pursue to preserve their national interests.<\/p>\n

Al-Sisi has recently hinted at the possibility of a military confrontation, saying “any harm to Egypt’s [Nile] water will affect the stability of the entire region\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Sudanese political analyst Abdullah Rizq noted the close rapprochement between Sudan and Egypt at this stage of the protracted conflict over the dam and the two countries\u2019 recent joint air exercises as worthy of attention.<\/p>\n

Rizq believes that Sudan will fight alongside Egypt against Ethiopia in case a military option is pursued citing the two countries shared \u201cvision, position, and interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The failure of the Congo negotiations means among other things the failure of attempts to pressure the Ethiopian side, which is described as stubborn regarding making concessions,” Rizq said.<\/p>\n

Rizq has pointed at Ethiopia\u2019s readiness to fight back in case a war breaks out and urged all parties to \u201ccontinue with negotiations in good faith, away from the language of threat and the clatter of arms”.<\/p>\n
