Ethiopia Completes Its Massive Nile River Dam Project
Ethiopia has officially completed construction of its massive Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River, a landmark project aimed at boosting the nation’s electricity generation and supporting economic development. The dam has been a point of regional contention, particularly with Egypt and Sudan, due to concerns over water access. Despite the disputes, Ethiopia views the dam as a symbol of national pride and a key step toward energy self-sufficiency and industrial growth.
