NEW YORK, 6 March, 2021 (TON): Seeking to break the stalemate between Ethiopia, Ethiopia and Sudan over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance (GRD) on the Nile River Dam, the UN-SG Antonio Guterres has offered to assist the cause.

On Friday, the Egyptian FM Sameh Shoukry on a phone call was assured by the UN to be available to support and participate in the African Union-led negotiation process on the dam, said UN-SG’s spokesman.  

The process depends on the engagement of the parties in serious talks, the spokesman said.

The dam was built by Ethiopia in 2011 and it was concerned about its share of the Nile, while, Sudan also raised similar concerns over the dam.
