Sharjah 24 – AFP: The Egyptian foreign ministry on Sunday condemned as "illegal" Ethiopia's announcement that it had filled its Grand Renaissance Dam on the Nile, the source of a long-running water dispute.
The "unilateral" measure by Addis Ababa to complete the mega-dam's filling would "weigh on" negotiations with downstream Egypt and Sudan, which were suspended in 2021 but resumed last month, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
