Tensions Grow Between Egypt and Sudan/Ethiopia Over The Nile River

Reuters: Egypt Says It Does Not Want War as Tension Grows With Sudan

CAIRO (Reuters) - President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Monday Egypt is not conspiring against its neighbors and has no intention to fight, a reference to growing tension with Sudan.

Relations have deteriorated in recent weeks, including over a Sudan-Turkey naval agreement that angered Cairo and an ongoing dispute over a dam Ethiopia is building on the Nile river that runs through all three countries.

In the latest move, Sudan recalled its ambassador to Egypt without saying when he might be back.

"Let's always look for peace and development, our people need that. They don't need us arguing and entering conflict," Sisi said at an inauguration of new projects in the province of Monofeya.
