This article discusses the signing of the declaration of principles by Ethiopia , Egypt and Sudan on March 24th 2015 . The declaration was regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam which initially caused tension between Egypt and Ethiopia . However by signing the declaration this marks the fact that Ethiopia are committed to ensuring that the dam will have no negative effects on Sudan and Egypt . Also this marks the recognition by Egypt that the construction of the dam is legitimate.
The declaration dates back to 2011 when the building of the dam was first proposed , however talks have been ongoing since then . It isn't until now that an agreement has been met . One of the deciding factors of this was the election of Sisi as president of Egypt in May 2014. The declaration does mark a shift in power in favour of Ethiopia over the Nile.
