Sisi and Abiy fail to meet at BRICS summit; Nile dispute unresolved

Egyptian President Sisi and Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed did not hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in New Delhi, indicating continued deadlock over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) dispute. The absence of direct talks suggests no progress on the long-standing Nile water-sharing conflict, which remains a flashpoint for regional stability.
