Joe Neguse, Congressional Black Caucus Statement on the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

The Congressional Black Caucus, and Rep. Neguse, who is a member of the CBC, urge the United States and all other international actors to respect the 2015 Declaration of Principles trilateral agreement signed between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, and to continue to play an impartial role, only seeking the counsel of the African Union and diplomats on the ground in the region. In particular, the African Union has a pivotal role to play by expressing to all parties that a peaceful negotiated deal benefits all and not just some on the continent.
