CAIRO – 7 April 2021: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi urged Ethiopia on Wednesday to cooperate with Egypt on the water file, saying “all options are open” in the event of any harm to a single water drop. “I tell our Ethiopian brothers: we should not reach the level that you mess with a water drop in Egypt, because all options are open,” Sisi said, while inaugurating the secured and smart documents complex. Rounds of negotiations among Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia have reached a deadlock several times to reach an agreement of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. On water share, Sisi said the current water path from Ethiopia to Egypt is a divine creation. The president said Egypt respects the development goals of other nations without a harm to the Egyptian water rights.
