Sudan and Egypt have grown increasingly concerned by Ethiopia's stance during negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The gravity dam on the Nile has been under construction since 2011.
After a decade of construction, the hydroelectric dam in Ethiopia, Africa’s largest, is nearly complete. But there’s still no agreement with Egypt, which calls the structure a national security threat.
Ninety-eight per cent of Egypt's total area is desert, the country's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Mohamed Abdel Aty, announced yesterday.
