This viewpoint discusses the negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) among Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt, with a particular emphasis on Sudan’s position. The analysis argues that the GERD dispute stems mainly from geopolitical and historical tensions rather than technical or economic issues. While the GERD holds potential for mutual benefit, it has instead become a source of regional tension. The authors argue that sustainable resolution requires the three countries to move beyond water resources and pursue broader regional cooperation in water, food, energy and economic integration. Failure to do so could lead to lasting political and economic consequences.
