Ethiopia says construction of Nile mega dam 90% complete

Economic news

Addis Ababa’s announcement comes only few days after Egypt issued a fresh warning against Ethiopia over the multi-billion-dollar massive dam project which will be Africa’s largest upon completion. Ethiopia’s massive hydro-electric dam project on a tributary of the Nile has raised regional tensions notably with Sudan and Egypt, which depends on the huge river for 97% of the water supply. Government officials said the dam would begin producing electricity this week, a decade since work first started.
