Egypt, Ethiopia and mutual neighbour Sudan should conclude an agreement before the completion of Ethiopia’s disputed Nile dam, to prevent “significant harm to downstream countries,†US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.
“Final testing and filling should not take place without an agreement,†Mnuchin said in a statement on the Treasury Department’s website following the latest Washington meeting, which Ethiopia skipped.
