- An American attempt to bring the views closer
On the other hand, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed learned that the US administration is working on a new attempt to bring the three parties closer, specifically during the US-African Summit hosted by Washington, between December 13 and 15.
An American diplomat said in an exclusive interview that the administration of President Joe Biden "is very interested in reaching an agreement that ends this crisis, especially as it is between two parties (Egypt and Ethiopia) on which the US administration relies a lot as strategic allies in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa."
This comes at a time when the regional spokesman for the US State Department, Sam Werberg, said that "there must be a diplomatic solution between the three countries, and the United States in this administration is ready to provide any peaceful assistance to the three parties, and we have the US special envoy (Mike Hammer). He visits the region repeatedly and is in contact with all parties."
Werberg added, during televised statements last Monday, that "the United States realizes the importance of the Nile waters to the Egyptians, and therefore we are doing everything in our power to reach a solution to the crisis."
