Egypt's full response rejecting Ethiopia's statement
By: Egypt Today staff Sat, Mar. 7, 2020

CAIRO – 7 March 2020: The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Friday in which it rejected the Ethiopian foreign ministry’s statement on the Arab League stance on Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) altogether.

The Arab League council voiced rejection Wednesday of any infringement of Egypt’s historical rights to the waters of the River Nile.

This came at the end of the 153rd session of the Arab League Council, which kicked off on March 4 at the foreign ministerial level.

Here is the full statement of the Egyptian foreign ministry:

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic of Egypt categorically rejects the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia on March 6th, 2020 on the resolution adopted by the Council of the League of Arab States on Wednesday March 4th, 2020 on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).




This statement is inappropriate, undiplomatic, and constitutes an unacceptable affront to the Arab League and its member states. The fact that the Arab League adopted a resolution calling on Ethiopia to respect the applicable rules of international law and not to undertake unilateral measures that could harm Egyptian riparian rights and interests is a testament to the extent to which Ethiopia unilaterally considers its interests not only as superseding, but also superior to, the collective interests of the sovereign states of the Arab League which it seeks to suppress.

This resolution adopted by the Arab League reflects dismay and discontent at Ethiopia’s track record throughout the endless rounds of negotiations on the GERD, particularly since the conclusion of the 2015 Agreement on Declaration of Principles (DoP).

Ethiopia’s posture and position during these negotiations, which has been criticized by the Arab League, evinces its intent to exercise hydro-hegemony and to anoint itself as the unchallenged and sole beneficiary over the Nile. This is especially apparent in its insistence on filling the GERD unilaterally in July 2020 without reaching an agreement with downstream states, and while holding negotiations on the GERD hostage to domestic political considerations. This constitutes a material breach of the DoP and demonstrates, beyond any doubt, Ethiopia’s bad faith and its lack of political will to reach a fair and balanced agreement on the GERD.

Nowhere is this true nature of Ethiopia’s position more apparent than in the fact that it failed to accept an agreement on the filling and operation of the GERD that was prepared by neutral and impartial mediators, namely the United States in coordination with the World Bank. In a show of political support, the Arab League welcomed and endorsed this agreement and invited Ethiopia to revisit its position and reconsider signing this agreement.

Given its policies during the GERD negotiations, Ethiopia is in no position to lecture the Arab League or its member states on the common values, cultural ties, and bonds of kinship between the Arab and African peoples, which are not the purview of Ethiopia to define.

Ethiopia’s policy on the GERD is a further assertion of the unilateral nature of its regional conduct that has resulted in continuing harm and suffering for multitudes of our African brethren. We, therefore, urge the international community to join the Arab League in taking cognizance of Ethiopia’s continuing defiance and unilateralism, which threatens to undermine regional stability and security. We also call on Ethiopia to affirm its commitment not to commence the filling of the GERD without an agreement and to accept the agreement prepared by the neutral mediators.

A balanced, win-win solution is at hand and the opportunity to chart a new course and redraw the history of the Blue Nile is within our grasp."

Tarik, the more you write the more it has become obvious you are one of those Arab sniffers who sniffs and thinks everything blowing smells Arabs. Ethiopians had confronted Arabs many times and Arbs did n't fair in any of the confrontations. They were vanquished one next to other. So if you think Arbs have a ball that Ethiopians afraid of think again. Egypt is completely in Ethiopian balm. The most it can do is bomb the dam , yea. After that what -- Abay is still in Ethiopia. Ethiopia can cut off all the tributaries which is going to reduce the water flow significantly. if they come to Ethiopia to fight on land they will lose big time. It is the Ethiopian highland they going be fighting not Sinai desert where everything flatland. Arab League is a laughingstock organization. They are accustomed to denaucation, threat, but when it comes to doing practical things -- they do zilch. your poppy dance for Egypt and arbs though is entertaining. It is also clear your stance about Eritrea vis vie Arbs.

Hmm...

Every time you get or invent some bad news about Ethiopia please celebrate it by undressing yourself, taking shower and climbing up the well oiled night club metal poles and conduct your twerking show business so that your dimwitted brain may try to attract joy and vain happiness. Addiction is your sickness!

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.” ~Edgar Allan Poe

I really don’t understand how low tarik’s IQ is and how much blind hatred makes his idiocy worse. Supposedly he hates woyane, but for him any Ethiopian is woyane and because of the depth of his intellectual deprivation, he does not even know what he is wishing for.
I really believe, he is logging in from a lunatic asylum somewhere.

WTF - you started one thread and now interjected another. Be focused, buddy.

608 Days since peace sign between Pia and Abiy, but ethiopian troops still occupy my Eritrean land BADME.

The Arab League is a hot air ballon just like the African Union. People are dying like flies in Libya, Syria and Yemen but the toothless AL couldn’t do anything about it. Palestinians have no right in their own land. Iran and Iraq are a mess. Now they are interfering in a complex issue that flies over their head. I don’t even think they read the resolution they signed. And Egypt thinks all these garbages and side shows would scare & stop Ethiopians from completing and filling the dam. Kiss my Heavenly bottom if you believe that.
