أثر مياه النيل في تعزيز العلاقات المصرية السودانية

Abstract EN

Any observer of history and politics knows that Sudan is a strategic extension of Egypt and that Egypt is a strategic extension of Sudan.

The relationship between the two countries has been an important one since the dawn of time.

But these relations changed and evolved over the years, not always for the better.

The ups and downs have been directly affected by the nature of the regimes in both Cairo and Khartoum.

Regardless, Egypt has always viewed Sudan as one single unit and refrained from siding with one party over another.

Both Egypt and Sudan are indispensable to each other, and coordination and cooperation between them for the common good is the natural and realistic logic of matters, which is what the political leaders and peoples seek in both countries, and there are many regional issues and files on which coordinating the positions of the two countries is important for the benefit of the two peoples.

The Arab nation, the African continent and the entire region, in the forefront of course, is the Nile water file.

Where the Nile River is the source of life for both Egypt and Sudan, the link between Egypt and Sudan with the Nile River is eternal, as it is the one who gave them life and immortality.

Without it, the greatest civilization in ancient Egypt would not have existed.

Therefore, the water limiter plays a crucial role in the Egyptian-Sudanese relations, which is currently reflected in the overall interactions regarding the Renaissance Dam.

In the years of negotiation, the Egyptian-Sudanese relations witnessed a kind of ebb and flow and then a state of agreement.

This is in view of the great historical and civilizational place that the Nile River enjoys in the hearts of the countries of Egypt and Sudan.

It was natural for a lot of disagreements to arise over the initiation of any country to establish or support water projects on the course of the Nile.

Ethiopia's unilateral actions have pushed the two countries downstream; Egypt and Sudan to coordinate positions on this file, as the two countries stress the importance of communication for a binding legal agreement on filling and operating the Renaissance Dam in a way that achieves the interests of the two countries and preserves the water rights of Egypt and Sudan.
