The statements of US President Donald Trump regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam carried many hidden messages, which Ethiopia rejected through a statement issued by its Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed.

 

In new and surprising statements, on Friday evening, Trump, during a phone call with the head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, the Prime Minister of Sudan and the Israeli Prime Minister, warned Ethiopia against pressuring Egypt by the Renaissance Dam so that Egypt would not be forced to blow it up, and then no one would blame it.

 

During the phone call, which was broadcast live, Trump touched in his conversation with Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk about the Renaissance Dam file, wondering about the latest developments in the file.

 

Trump stressed that Ethiopia's neglect of the agreement is unacceptable, which prompted him to impose sanctions on it and stop a number of aid from it, saying, "Ethiopia will not see aid money again before it abides by the agreement."

 

Trump continued his speech, saying: “I came with an agreement, and Ethiopia withdrew at the last moment, which is unacceptable, and the situation is dangerous. Do something about it ”.

In an interview with Al-Arabiya.net, Major General Nasr Salem, the former head of the Egyptian army's reconnaissance apparatus, revealed that the issue of the Renaissance Dam had a beginning,

 

as it happened before during the era of the late President Anwar Sadat in the year 1979, when the late President announced his intention to extend the waters of the Nile to Sinai to reclaim 35,000 acres, which angered Ethiopia, and therefore its government filed an official complaint against Egypt, threatening to establish dams that impede water access to Egypt. Sadat replied, "As long as they want us to die of thirst here in Egypt, it is better for us to go and die with them in Ethiopia."

 

Trump's statements are seen by the Egyptian military expert as a clear, strong and unequivocal warning message for the Ethiopians to change their obstinate stance in the negotiations that lasted 9 years, adding that it can be considered a "pressure message" so that Addis Ababa does not continue its position and is aware that America itself and the ruling administration will not accept This stance on it, and that it supports Egypt in any steps it may take to protect its water security.

 

But the question that arises is .. Can Egypt explode the Renaissance Dam?

 

The military expert says that Egypt will not resort to this option, because this is not its policy, and it may continue negotiations no matter how long, in order to reach a binding and just legal agreement. This does not mean that the conflict will continue forever, and Egypt is waiting until it finds itself deprived of water, so the equation may change and the political leadership may resort to the option that is necessary to protect water security.

 

He adds that Trump's statements are a message to Ethiopia to return to the agreement sponsored by Washington and was ready to sign last February and that Addis Ababa evaded it, in order to avoid resorting to other solutions and in the interest of security and stability in the region, a goal that Washington seeks and Egypt supports.

 

Trump's statements, according to the military expert, revealed to the whole world that Egypt is right in its conflict with Ethiopia and that the latter is maneuvering and obstructing any peaceful agreement, and that attempts to deprive the Egyptians of water means waging a war of starvation and thirst for Egypt, and then there will be another option.
