His meeting with Hailemariam Desalegne is expected to be about the dam,among other things, being constructed by Ethiopia over the Nile river.
President Sisi told participants of Youth conference in Aswan,according to Ahram, that the concern about Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam is legitimate and Egypt is dealing with the matter “in a good way”, as quoted by Ahram.
Ethiopia has recently been accusing of Egypt for supporting radical Oromo ethno-nationalist groups, an allegation that Egypt denied.
