Egypt Warns Ethiopia Over Giant GERD Dam on Nile; Abiy Dismisses Threat | Firstpost Africa | N18G Ethiopia has announced the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydroelectric project, set to be inaugurated in September. While Ethiopia sees the $4 billion project as vital for its electrification and economic growth, downstream nations Egypt and Sudan have raised serious concerns. Egypt, which relies on the Nile for nearly all its freshwater, calls the dam an existential threat. Despite years of talks, no binding agreement has been reached. The dam can generate over 5,000 megawatts of power and could turn Ethiopia into a regional energy exporter while further deepening regional tensions over Nile water rights. --- Ethopia | Nile | Egypt | Donald Trump | Sudan | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #ethopia #nile #egypt #donaldtrump #sudan #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
