dam

Ethiopia previously has rejected calls from Egypt and Sudan to involve mediators outside the African Union.

Egypt calls the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam an “existential threat.” Ethiopia says Egypt and Sudan have nothing to worry about.

Known to the workers who built the hydro plant as "The Old Man of Naharayim," Rutenberg, who died in 1942, is not widely commemorated in Israel.

As negotiations between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over Addis Ababa’s massive dam reach impasse some analysts believe military confrontation is imminent.

Addis Ababa’s disagreement with Khartoum and Cairo over the African continent’s largest hydroelectric dam has the potential to turn violent.

In protest of Ethiopia's construction on the dam, Egypt submitted a 17-page letter to the United Nations Security Council demanding a halt to construction until there is an agreement reached.

The Degania Dam is expected to be partially opened at the beginning of May in order to prevent flooding.
