The statement came after remarks attributed to Ethiopian Minister of Water and Energy Habtamu Itefa about building new dams on the Nile and controlling the flow toward Egypt and Sudan.

The unnamed Egyptian source argued that the remarks attributed to Itefa represented a continuation of Ethiopia’s unilateral position and said they constituted a clear violation of international law.
The source also described Addis Ababa’s approach of establishing control over a shared international river based on the will of a single country as unacceptable.
