Sudan coup sets back Egypt’s GERD position
Keyword(s):
Significance Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi enjoys a strong relationship with Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s top general who led the coup. Burhan has been a vocal ally of Cairo in the conflict with Addis Ababa over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Impacts Political instability in Sudan will delay the possibility of reaching a deal on the dam. If Burhan does not share power with civilian leaders, international mediation favouring the two downstream nations will be unlikely. Joint military action by Egypt and Sudan against Ethiopia is highly unlikely in the near future, despite posturing.
