โ€œ#Sudan is deeply concerned about #Ethiopiaโ€™s decision to start filling the #GERD reservoir in the absence of an agreement.โ€ 2/8
#Sudan stressed that โ€œwater of the Sudanese Roseires reservoir is only 15 km downstream the #GERD. With its small size (one tenth of GERD) unilateral filling of GERD put operations of Roseires, and hence the lives of millions living downstream at very high risk.โ€ 3/8
#Sudan requests #UNSC to โ€œcall upon the leaders of the three countries to demonstrate their political will and commitment by resolving the few remaining issues and conclude an agreement.โ€ 4/8

#Sudan also requests #UNSC to โ€œdiscourage all parties from unilateral actions including starting the filling of the reservoir before reaching an agreement.โ€ 6/8
#Sudanโ€™s letter ends with a sense of urgency โ€œthe window for reaching an agreement is closing by the hour,โ€ but with hope that #GERD could be a historic moment & turning point for more cooperation in the Nile region. 7/8
