The Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council (EIASC) on Thursday called for peaceful resolution of Nile River water sharing issue, hanging fire between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan.

The dispute between the three countries revolves around the construction of the $5billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River.

Last February, US-sponsored trilateral talks between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan were stalled after Ethiopia withdrew accusing the US treasury department of siding with Egypt instead of mediating.
