Egypt has threatened to blow up the Ennahda Dam in response to Ethiopia's stubbornness in the talks. What happened during the telephone conversation?
According to Egyptian media, the issue of Ennahda Dam was discussed during the talks between Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk and Trump. "Egypt has threatened to destroy the Ennahda Dam and we cannot blame Egypt because it is angry at Ethiopia's violations," Trump said. These violations are adversely affecting the waters of the Nile.
The US president added that Ethiopia's violations were unacceptable, especially when the three countries reached an agreement under US auspices and then Ethiopia withdrew at the last minute. Trump made it clear that Egypt has a right to protect its share of the Nile. Trump assured that Ethiopia would not be able to see the future of aid before the agreement is ratified.
"At the same time, we reject Ethiopia's withdrawal from this agreement," he said. The situation is dangerous and Egypt cannot live like this. He has already given a clear warning in this regard, so Ethiopia is obliged to do something about it. It has been decided to ban the movement of planes from above.
