The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) project—due to be completed later this year—has required lengthy negotiations between Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. In recent weeks, the government of Sudan has attempted to continue tripartite meetings after talks stalled in November. The $5 billion project reached 60 percent completion the same month and is expected to take between five and 15 years to fill—in a process Egypt is certain will jeopardize its primary water supplies.
