Egypt Does Not Want War with Ethiopia, Sudan - el-SisiJanuary 16, 2018 - Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said that his country is not prepared to go to war against Ethiopia and Sudan. The president denied reports that allege Egypt was meddling in the internal affairs of Sudan and Ethiopia. Egypt fears that the soon-to-be-completed Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) project, the largest hydroelectric dam project in Africa, will significantly reduce its share of the Nile River water. Egypt has long accused Sudan of siding with Ethiopia, while Khartoum claims Cairo is supporting rebels in its territory. Khartoum recalled its ambassador to Cairo for "consultations" on January 4, following media reports of Egypt sending troops to Eritrea, which has a border with Sudan.
