Egypt accused Ethiopia on Saturday of operating the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) in a unilateral and hydrologically inconsistent manner, leading to major swings in the Blue Nile's flow. The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation stated that abrupt and irregular water releases in recent weeks forced Cairo to open the Toshka spillway to preserve balance in its water system.
