Egyptian president thanks Trump for dam mediation
The Star
|January 19, 2026
EGYPTIAN President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi thanked his US counterpart Donald Trump at the weekend for offering to serve as a mediator with Ethiopia over sharing water from a Nile mega-dam at the centre of more than a decade of tensions.
-
Trump had said last week that he was “ready to restart US mediation” to resolve the question of water sharing along the Nile, upon which Egypt relies for 97% of its water needs.
Sisi said he welcomed “Trump's attention to the central importance of the Nile River issue for Egypt, as it represents the lifeline of the Egyptian people” in a post on X.
He added that he had a desire to cooperate with other countries along the river “without harming any party”.

Elite continuity undermines justice in democracy
IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies — cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
