The Egyptian expert, Sharqi, explained that the satellites monitored the turbines’ failure to operate since March 25 until now, with the continuation of work on the construction of reinforced concrete on the middle corridor of the dam.
still Sudan clashes Between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which broke out a few days ago, casts great shadows on Egypt and the region, and exacerbates the crisis and file of the Renaissance Dam, in which Egypt and Sudan stand on one side, while Ethiopia stands on the other side, which compounds the complexity of the crisis and halts the resumption of negotiations.
A few days ago, Egyptian experts warned that Ethiopia would take advantage of the war and the preoccupation of Sudan and Egypt with it, and end the fourth filling of the dam, which may begin within weeks with the start of the flood season, but recent photos revealed that Addis Ababa has not yet begun to do so, and perhaps for technical reasons it may falter, or store. But not in the required quantity.

Turbine stop
The Egyptian expert, Abbas Sharaki, reveals that the newly captured satellite images confirm that the turbines in the dam have stopped working, confirming to Al-Arabiya.net that the satellites have monitored the turbines stopping since March 25, and the continuation of the stoppage until today, with the continued flow of water from the drainage gate. East and the continuation of work in the construction of reinforced concrete on the middle passage of the dam.
He adds that the rains will begin gradually on the first of next May, and quantities of water will flow at the dam, reaching about 10 million m3, then increasing to 60 million m3 in June, after which the main flood season begins from July until next October, and at that time the position of Ethiopia will become clear, and the amount of the fourth filling will be determined with it. Know the size of the ramp in the middle passage of the dam.

Damage to Egypt and Sudan
The Egyptian expert had confirmed in previous statements to Al-Arabiya.net that there will be damages that Egypt and Sudan will have to face in the event of the Ethiopian insistence on the fourth filling without coordination, and these damages can be limited to 20 items, adding that the damages of the fourth storage vary between water, political and legal. and environmental.
And he explained that among those damages is the imposition of a fait accompli policy, the Ethiopian hegemony over international rivers, and its freedom to determine the quantities of storage and operation during the coming years without any coordination with any country, as well as the possibility of Ethiopia building its future water projects in the same manner as the Renaissance Dam.
He stated that the damages of the fourth filling include the possibility of other upstream countries following the same Ethiopian approach when establishing water projects on the tributaries of the Nile River, and the existence of a water loss equivalent to the total that was stored during the previous three years, which is 17 billion cubic meters, and the lack of this amount from the High Dam reservoir, Stressing that the damage also includes a decrease in the electricity production of the High Dam as a result of the decrease in the level of Lake Nasser, and the loss of at least 10% of the stored water as evaporation and underground leakage.
agricultural policy confusion
The Egyptian expert revealed that other damages resulting from the fourth filling include the confusion of Egyptian agricultural policy due to the lack of accurate knowledge of the amount of fourth storage, and the reduction of rice, sugarcane and banana cultivation areas in Egypt, explaining that the weight of the main renaissance dams and the saddle constitutes a new weight for the region by about 150 million tons, in addition to To about 30-35 billion tons, which is the weight of the total water stored this summer, which activates faults and cracks and the possibility of earthquakes in the region.
It is noteworthy that a few weeks ago, Ethiopia had announced again that it had finished building 90% of the dam, amid the escalation of the crisis with the downstream countries Egypt and Sudan due to the lack of agreement on filling and operation, and Addis Ababa taking a unilateral decision to act without advice or coordination with the two countries.
