🇪🇹🇪🇬 Ethiopia sets up Abay compensation committee over projects it says were obstructed by Egypt

Ethiopia has established an Abay Compensation Committee to assess projects the government says were obstructed by Egypt, according to state-linked reporting on October 2. The committee is tasked with evaluating alleged losses linked to projects associated with the Abay, the Amharic name for the Blue Nile, amid the long-running dispute between Addis Ababa and Cairo over Nile waters and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

The move comes as tensions between Ethiopia and Egypt continue over the GERD, which Ethiopia says is vital for power generation and development, while Egypt has argued it threatens downstream water security. The committee announcement was reported by allAfrica on October 2.
