Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam is seen as it undergoes construction work on the river Nile in Guba Woreda, Benishangul Gumuz Region, Ethiopia, on Sep 26, 2019. KHARTOUM: Sudan asked the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday to meet and discuss a dispute over a giant dam being built by Ethiopia on the Blue Nile, a government statement said.

Sudan's Foreign Minister Mariam Sadiq al-Mahdi called on the Security Council to hold a session as soon as possible to discuss GERD and"its impact on the safety and security of millions of people", the government statement said. Sudan and Egypt had already agreed this month to work together on all levels to push Ethiopia to negotiate"seriously" on an agreement, after African Union-sponsored talks remained deadlocked. The two countries called on the international community to intervene.
