Ethiopia hails new phase in disputed Blue Nile dam project
(Worthy News) – Ethiopia says it has finished filling a reservoir for its controversial hydroelectric dam on the Blue Nile river – a project which once prompted Egyptian politicians to discuss military action.

It’s anticipated that the dam will be capable of generating more than 6,000 megawatts, and Ethiopia sees it as the centrepiece of its bid to become Africa’s biggest power exporter.
Egypt and Sudan, however, consider the project a serious threat to their vital water supplies. [ Source: Sky News (Read More…) ]
