U.S. move to hit economic well-being of Sudan and Egypt
Sudan-Egypt, Economics, 3/4/1998

Sudanese sources said the US is undertaking a move in cooperation with the International Bank to damage the economic well-being of Egypt and Sudan.

This will be done through the U.S.A. Bureau of Reclamation's finance of four new dams on the Blue Nile in Ethiopia that will threaten the river's waters in Egypt and Sudan.

Sudanese sources linked this plan by the U.S. to the rapid improvement towards normalization of Sudanese and Egyptian relations. The U.S. has sought to have influence in Sudan without success, and has embarked on destabilizing the Sudanese government.

Recent meetings in Khartoum -- which the two countries' ministers of irrigation and marine resources attended -- concentrated on coordination between Egypt and Sudan on exchanging experiences in new water projects.
