Sharjah 24 – KUNA: President of the Arab Parliament Adel Al-Asoumi on Tuesday called on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to reach a fair and mandatory agreement on the filling and operating rules of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
Al-Asoumi sent a letter to UNSC on the GERD crisis before the meeting it should hold by next Thursday upon a request from Egypt and Sudan.

He called on UNSC to hold the responsibilities the international community assigned to it in protecting international peace and security.

"It is not acceptable for any party at any time to extend sovereignty or seek to monopolise GERD, and it is absolutely unacceptable to impose a new reality in which the upstream countries control the downstream countries", he affirmed.

"This is the only way out for this crisis in order to protect the security and stability of the region", he said.
