NAIROBI: Ethiopia said on Saturday that threats of any kind towards resolving a dispute with its neighbours over the filling and operation of a massive hydropower dam were"misguided, unproductive and clear violations of international law".
In the call, held in front of reporters at the White House, Trump said he had also told Egypt the same thing, saying it was a dangerous situation and that Cairo could end up"blowing up that dam." "Occasional statements of belligerent threats to have Ethiopia succumb to unfair terms still abound," Abiy's office said."These threats and affronts to Ethiopian sovereignty are misguided, unproductive, and clear violations of international law."The first phase of filling the dam completed in August, Abiy's office said.
Trump said on Friday said he had brokered an agreement to resolve the issue but that Ethiopia had broken the pact, forcing him to cut funds.
