Accepting the Bitter Reality?
Despite the damage expected from the completion of the filling of the dam, it seems that Cairo is dealing with the matter as if it is a reality that cannot be changed. Perhaps this explains the statements of Egyptian officials regarding reducing the risks for Egypt of the second filling. They have also announced preparations to face any shortage that may occur in Egypt’s share of Nile waters, which amounts to about 55.5 billion cubic meters, including reducing agricultural crops that consume a lot of water (such as rice), desalinating sea water, and recycling sewage.Furthermore, it seems that President Sisi, who warned Ethiopia of a potential conflict over GERD and considered Egypt’s share of the Nile River as a national security issue and “a red line that cannot be crossed,” has begun to accept the fait accompli. He recently tried to assuage Egyptians’ fears regarding the risks of failed GERD negotiations and called on them not to worry. In addition, the pro-regime newspapers and media outlets downplayed1 the effects of the second filling of the dam in order to relieve public anger. Egyptians hold Sisi accountable for failing to preserve Egypt’s rights to the Nile River and blame him for signing the Declaration of Principles, an agreement that allowed Ethiopia to control Egypt’s rights to the waters of the Nile. For example, a prominent Egyptian journalist, Abdel Nasser Salama, vehemently criticized Sisi after Ethiopia announced the completion of the second filling of the Renaissance Dam. He even called on Sisi to step down and blamed him for Egypt’s “heavy defeat” by Ethiopia. Unsurprisingly, several days later, Egyptian security forces arrested Salama and charged him with “financing terrorism.”
As time passes without reaching a legally binding agreement between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan over the filling and operation of GERD, the relationship between the three countries will remain strained—an imposed new reality particularly for Egypt and Sudan.
Ethiopia says second filling of giant dam on Blue Nile complete

ADDIS ABABA, July 19 (Reuters) - Ethiopia has completed filling the reservoir of its huge dam on the Blue Nile river for a second year and the plant may start generating power in the next few months, a minister said on Monday, a move that has already angered Egypt and Sudan.
Addis Ababa says the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a $4 billion hydropower project, is crucial to its economic development and to provide power.
But it has caused concern over water shortages and safety in Egypt and Sudan, which also depend on the Nile's waters.
"The second filling of the Renaissance dam has been completed and the water is overflowing," Seleshi Bekele, Ethiopia's minister for water, irrigation and energy, said on Monday in a Tweet.

"The next milestone for GERD construction is to realize the early generation in the next few months," he said.
Sudan's irrigation ministry said in a statement it rejected "unilateral measures from neighbouring Ethiopia and policies of imposing a fait accompli and ignoring the legitimate interests and serious concerns of its river partners".
Khartoum urged Addis Ababa to "continue negotiations...to reach a binding and comprehensive legal agreement that preserves the interests of all parties".
Egypt said last month it had received official notice from Ethiopia that it had begun filling the reservoir for a second time and said it rejected the move. read more

Egypt views it as a grave threat to its Nile water supplies, on which it is almost entirely dependent. Sudan has also expressed concern about the dam's safety and the impact on power generation from its own dams and water stations.
Long-running diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute between the three countries have yielded little success.
The United States has also said Ethiopia's filling of the dam had the potential to raise tensions and has urged all parties to refrain from any unilateral actions.
