Egypt, Sudan Call Ethiopian Nile Dam "Threat" Ahead of GERD Inauguration | Firstpost Africa | N18G

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydropower project, is set to be inaugurated after more than a decade of construction. For Ethiopia, the $4.6 billion dam promises an energy revolution, powering millions, cutting blackouts, and turning the nation into a regional electricity exporter. But for downstream neighbours Egypt and Sudan, the project raises alarm. Egypt, reliant on the Nile for 97% of its water, fears major losses to farming and supply. Sudan warns of flooding or drought without a binding deal. Despite mediation efforts, the dispute remains unresolved, fuelling regional tensions.
