Sudan condemned all unilateral measures by Ethiopia to launch electricity production at the Renaissance Dam.
On Sunday, Ethiopia officially started producing electricity from the Renaissance Dam, which it is building on the Blue Nile, in what Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described as “the birth of a new era.”
The official spokesman for the Sudanese negotiating team in this file, Omar Kamel, considered that the measures taken by Ethiopia “contradict the spirit of cooperation and constitute a fundamental breach of Ethiopia’s international legal obligations, as well as what was agreed upon between the three countries in the Declaration of Principles.” “Sudan affirms its position rejecting all unilateral measures regarding filling and operating the dam,” he said.
