Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia have been locked in a bitter decade-old dispute over the GERD, amid fears in Cairo and Khartoum that the dam would reduce their water supply from the Nile River. However, negotiations have reached a deadlock amid mounting fears of a military conflict in the already volatile region.
