The US Department of State Spokesperson Ned Price said in his daily Briefing that Ethiopia\u2019s second filling for GERD is a unilateral action which is \u2018fair to say that is a potential to raise tensions\u2019 between parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it come to the GERD, we have continued to support collaborative and constructive efforts by the countries involved [ Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan] to reach an enduring arrangement.\u201d Price said, adding: \u201cWe understand of course the importance of the Nile waters to all three of these countries and we continue to encourage a resumption of dialogue that we hope is productive and substantive and constructive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn doing so, all along we supported the AU led processes; a process that aims to lower tensions, to facilitate productive negotiations and to enhance regional cooperation\u201d The US Department of State Spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

He called on all parties to refrain from all unilateral actions that would raise tensions.<\/p>\n
