Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam: Agreement among Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan

Pambazuka News published on 8 April 2015 a commentary titled "Beyond the Politics of the Nile: Perspectives on the Declaration of Principles Regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" by Minga Negash, University of Witwatersrand, Seid Hassan, Murray State University, Mammo Muchie, Tshwane University of Technology, and Abu Girma, Oxford.

The authors argue the Agreement reached between Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan over the use of Nile waters is lopsided in favor of Egypt and is unlikely to resolve once and for all the fierce competition for water.
