Ethiopia inaugurates Africa’s largest hydroelectric dam as Egypt rift deepens
Ethiopia has inaugurated Africa’s largest hydroelectric dam, a project that could transform the country’s energy sector but may also aggravate tensions with neighbouring Egypt.
Along with the White Nile, the Blue Nile is one of the two major tributaries of the Nile. Construction of GERD started in 2011, with more than 25,000 people working on site.
