Sudanese Energy Minister Jadin Ali Obaid Hassan said the lack of agreement on filling the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam affected electricity generation in the country, while Khartoum and Cairo's efforts to reach a settlement with Addis Ababa faltered.

The Sudanese Minister referred to preventive action to deal with the filling of the Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia, while efforts to reach an agreement continue.

In the meantime, Egypt warned of serious damage to Cairo and Khartoum, should Ethiopia insist on the second phase of the Ennahda Dam during the summer of this year.

Egyptian Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli said that "the current situation of the crisis makes it imperative for us to return to serious and effective negotiations under African auspices and with the active participation of the international community."

In the same vein, Egyptian foreign affairs have said that Ethiopia wishes to impose a fait accompli on my country, which Egypt rejects because of the threat it poses to the interests of the Egyptian and Sudanese peoples and the impact of such unilateral actions on security and stability in the region.

Since 2011, Egypt, the Sudan and Ethiopia have been negotiating an agreement to fill the Al-Nahda dam that Addis Ababa is building and Cairo and Khartoum fear its repercussions. The three failed to reach agreement.

Last month, Khartoum proposed the formation of a quadri mechanism from the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and the United States of America, which was welcomed by Cairo and rejected by Addis Ababa.
