Egypt accused Ethiopia of mismanaging the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), claiming excess water releases caused severe Nile flooding in Sudan and threatened downstream communities. Cairo said the releases occurred without coordination and violated international norms. Ethiopia has not issued an official response. The incident follows the dam’s recent inauguration and has reignited diplomatic tensions over Nile water rights and Ethiopia’s control of regional water flows.
