Egypt and Sudan condemned Ethiopia’s start of the second phase of filling a controversial Nile dam, warning the move violates existing agreements and threatens security in the region.
The comments from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry came after the two countries said they’d been informed by Ethiopia that it resumed filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam -- a project the two North African nations fear will curtail their access to a vital source of fresh water. Egypt is taking its case to the United Nations Security Council this week.
