(This Jan. 9 story corrects paragraph 12 to reflect options after Jan.15 deadline)

By Giulia Paravicini and Dawit Endeshaw

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan remained deadlocked after two days of talks in their disputes over a giant hydropower dam on the Nile though Cairo said it hoped the issues would be resolved by Jan. 15 in line with a deadline agreed with Washington.

“We did not reach an agreement today but we achieved clarity at least on all issues including the filling. We hope to reach a deal next week in Washington,” Egyptian Water Minister Mohamed Abdel Aty told Reuters late on Thursday after two days of meetings in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

The countries are due to convene on Jan. 13 in Washington with the aim of resolving their disagreements by Jan. 15 over the filling and operation of the $4 billion hydroelectric dam that Ethiopia is building on the Nile.

Without speculating what this project could do, consider the fate of the Aral Sea. Implemented badly, this project could cause massive changes in Sudan and Egypt.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Why are we in the middle of this?
Are we paying for it?
Is this the beginning of another "war" down the road over water rights?
Not gonna end well....

1. As best I can see, we're hosting negotiations, not in the middle of it.

2. Not that I've heard.

3. The negotiations are intended to prevent that. But if Ethiopia's project devastates Sudan's and Egypt's water supply and agricultural economy ...

4. IMO, it might be possible, but I have doubts that it will, sadly.
