While the Egyptian authorities are grappling with the issue of the Renaissance Dam, which threatens Egypt's water security, this time the criticism came in terms of unaccounted for, through an Emirati newspaper that saw that Cairo had committed many mistakes that put it in this predicament.

And under the title "diplomatic mistakes that brought Egypt to the Renaissance Dam complex" the main topic of the Emirati newspaper, Al-Arab, came in its Saturday edition, stressing that Egyptian mistakes led to linking two incompatible crises, in reference to the Renaissance Dam crisis and the situation in Libya.

The first crisis relates to the start of filling the lake in front of the Renaissance Dam, which threatens Egypt’s share of the waters of the Nile River, while the second is related to the situation in Libya and the threat of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to intervene if the forces of the government of international reconciliation (internationally recognized) enter the Sirte and Jafra regions currently under the control of the forces Retired Major General Khalifa Hifter supported by Cairo.

The newspaper began its expanded report, noting that a special envoy of the Ethiopian Prime Minister visited Turkey last Thursday, expected that this would be a kind of coordination between the two countries to pressure Egypt from the south and west.

Then the Emirati newspaper set out to talk about what it called Egyptian mistakes, which it said were among them late in the movement, while advancing their opponents a long way that is difficult to undo, stressing that the Egyptian diplomacy "did not adopt creative ideas and ignored the element of time and its repercussions that are difficult to restore."

Ethiopia leads and controls

And considered the "Arabs" that the tunnel entered by the Renaissance Dam crisis raises many questions about the nature of the mistakes committed and made Ethiopia lead the helm of ups and downs in the negotiations, and controls the keys to a crisis that threatens the lives of millions of Egyptians who depend on the waters of the Nile River.

"Blaming the previous regimes is not enough to explain the bleak outcome of the crisis, such as the Renaissance Dam Dam that made the current leadership options limited, so it is not able to continue meaningless negotiation through the African channel or openly contest it, nor can it hint at the military option." Or being completely excluded. "

After noting that Sisi inherited from his predecessors a heavy legacy and was unable to dissolve the knot during the six years of his rule, the newspaper asks whether Ethiopia is difficult to understand with Egypt, or are there gaps that have led to this?

The newspaper answers by referring to the Ethiopian position first, as "Addis Ababa followed a tactic based on prevarication in every negotiating round, and consuming time for the largest possible period, and this is its right to an issue related to water, development, investment and electricity generation, in addition to the role, influence and control that it wants."

Lack of vision

On the other hand, the newspaper quotes Arab political sources as "deeply problematic in the Egyptian decision-making mechanism by possessing a large amount of details in the crises surrounding the country, but it lacks an accurate vision that deals with it."

The sources add that this policy "missed many opportunities available to Egypt, and enabled a country like Turkey to take advantage of the Arab void and incursion in Arab and African countries, while Egypt - which is the objective equivalent of Turkey in the region - seemed to be shackled with traditional concerns if it had abandoned it a little and would have succeeded in changing balances Many are in their interest. "

"Most of the moves Cairo is taking on vital issues - from Libya to the Renaissance Dam - have come as reactions, waiting to know how others will behave and then adjust their compass, which has made its large and evolving military force disciplined and unsettling, until it creates suspicions that it It may not be used if some of the red lines I drew are crossed. "

Ethiopian goals in the Egyptian goal

The newspaper elaborated on what it considered to be surrender and lack of decisiveness on the part of the Egyptian negotiator, adding that Egypt when it finally resorted to the Security Council had accumulated a number of problems before it, while Ethiopia succeeded in using its tools to create a negative image of its competitor and woven relations with various forces, some of which supported Addis Ababa is open in the public, and most have provided it with a hidden safety net.

"And when Egypt recently realized that Ethiopia was refraining from reaching a binding agreement, it found itself facing a thorny and confusing situation, and although all indications confirmed this, the Egyptian negotiator overlooked it and seemed to miss the margin of maneuver in which Ethiopia invested during the last period and helped it to score a number of goals In the Egyptian goal. "

In conclusion, the Emirati newspaper quotes Arab political sources as saying that the symbolic Ethiopian supremacy comes because successive governments in Addis Ababa have identified a clear line that has not changed with the change of leaders, while Egypt has a problem that lies in the discrepancy of estimates due to more interference on the one hand in the Renaissance Dam issue Including the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Irrigation, and the multiple security services, as well as the Presidency of the Republic.

The newspaper believes that this equation causes varying visions, because the party with the greatest influence is the one that adopts its estimate, and in most cases this estimate does not tend towards risk, but it is preferable to be cautious, patient, and patient for fear of surprises, and thus bear moral responsibility in case of error.
