#Egypt FM: #Ethiopian behaviors expose regional security and peace to danger. #Ethiopia refused every proposal by Egypt and Sudan. Unilateral filling of #GERD will cause severe water shortages, amounting to 120 billion cubic meters, depriving millions of farmers of water.
Egyptian FM: This is a situation that #Egypt can not and will not tolerate.
#Sudanese FM: #Sudan supported the construction of #GERD on the condition that a legally binding agreement would be reached on it's filling and operation. The existence of the dam and the absence of coordination could turn it into a danger of the communities living on the Nile.
#Sudan FM: we could not accept #GERD to be used as a tool to terrorize our citizens. #Ethiopia in June informed us of releasing 2.5 billion cubic meters of water just 2-week ahead. We had 72 hours to notify citizens to evacuate their homes.
#GERD poses a threat to half of the 45 million #Sudan's population. The dam could be a symbol of international cooperation, so long as it maintains the protection of human security, dams, and strategic security of our country.
