Professor of political science at the University of Cairo Rawya Toufic told Al-Monitor that the escalating dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia “was expected.” She added, “Ethiopia is interpreting the Declaration of Principles in a way that allows it to perform the first filling without an agreement, since Egypt allowed the construction to continue during the previous negotiation stages. The nature of the dam allows filling while continuing with the construction.”

Toufic argued, “Due to time constraints, Egypt might have to accept a partial agreement on the first filling without including the operation of the dam and the coordination mechanism, especially since Ethiopia insists that filling the dam during the first year will be limited to 4 billion cubic meters and will not have a tangible effect on Egypt and Sudan. A military move is still unlikely.”
