Egypt,accusatory
For almost a decade, and especially during the five years since the conclusion of the 2015 DoP, Ethiopia has adopted a policy of obstructionism and prevarication that has undermined the negotiating process and that has sought to establish a fait accompli.
Ethiopia,accusatory
In all the meetings held in Khartoum, on November 4-5, 2013, December 8-9, 2013 and 4-5 January 2014, Egypt thwarted progress by tabling unrelated agenda. Thus, the meetings ended with no concrete agreement and the process was stalled for six months. Egypt stonewalled the process.
Ethiopia,neutral
Article 10 of the DoP provides the agreement of the parties to resolve differences in a peaceful manner. It enshrines three alternatives that may be invoked by the three countries. These are, mediation, conciliation or referral to heads of states. Neither Egypt nor Sudan invoked this provision to channel the process from negotiation to a phase of dispute resolution.
