Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), set for September inauguration. The dam, Africa's largest hydroelectric project, has sparked concern from Egypt and Sudan over potential water supply impacts. While Egypt and Sudan fear the dam's unilateral operation threatens their water security, Abiy insists it's a shared opportunity, beneficial to all involved. Negotiations between the three nations remain stalled, with Egypt and Sudan rejecting unilateral actions.
