Description
During a question session in parliament in the capital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed tells members that a contentious multi-billion-dollar mega-dam will be inaugurated "in the next six months". The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), deemed vital for the country's electrification programme, has long been a source of tension and remains contentious with downstream nations Egypt and Sudan which fear it could threaten their access to vital Nile waters.
