Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" in English language version.
During Omar al-Bashir's rule, Sudan accepted Ethiopia's assurances that the dam would help control flooding and that Sudan would benefit from the power generated. Since al-Bashir was toppled in 2019, Sudan has aligned itself with Egypt, saying the Nile is joint property and an agreement must be reached before the reservoir can be filled.
