Ethiopia launches Africa’s biggest dam | BBC News


On Tuesday, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed formally launched the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, hailing it as "the greatest achievement in the history of the Black race".

Africa’s largest hydro-electric dam will help electrify the country as well as provide power to the region.

The dam’s construction on a Nile tributary, which provides most of that great river’s water, was controversial with downstream countries. Diplomatic tension with Egypt cranked up and there was even talk of conflict.
