Hello everyone from GZT! In the new episode of our 10/ON Africa series, we are with Foreign Policy Researcher Tunç Demirtaş, who is familiar to you from the screens. East Africa has been witnessing increasing tensions lately. The basis of these tensions lies in the sharing of the Nile River and Ethiopia's search for access to the sea. Egypt and Ethiopia stand out as the two countries most affected by these developments.
Although Egypt is geographically located in Africa, it has closer relations with the Middle East in historical and cultural terms. Despite this, East Africa is an important region for Egypt. The basis of this importance is the Nile River. Most of Egypt's fresh water needs are met from the Nile River. There are concerns that the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), built by Ethiopia, may reduce the amount of water Egypt receives from the Nile River. Egypt is one of the largest economies in Africa. Revenues from the Suez Canal constitute an important source for the Egyptian economy. Any instability that may occur in the Red Sea could negatively affect the Egyptian economy by threatening the security of the Suez Canal.
Ethiopia sees GERD as an important project for development. Egypt, on the other hand, is concerned that the dam will reduce the amount of water it receives from the Nile River. An agreement could not be reached between the two countries regarding the construction and operation of the dam. This situation increases tension in the region. Ethiopia has signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland for access to the sea. This situation threatens Somalia's sovereignty. Egypt has stated that it is in favor of Somalia's territorial integrity and does not want a new conflict in the region. Rising tensions in East Africa pose a threat to regional peace and stability. Finding solutions to important issues such as sharing the Nile River between Egypt and Ethiopia and the Somaliland issue is important to reduce tension in the region.
