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.
