Water Woes
An explainer on the disagreement provoked by construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
Published on Jul 14, 2020
Michele Dunne has prepared a short video on the dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt over Ethiopia’s construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Addis Ababa has just completed the dam and is now ready to fill it. In October 2017, Dunne and Katherine Pollock had written in Diwan about what was at stake. In November 2019, Andrew Miller examined whether the United States might intervene to help resolve the disagreement, pointing out how different timeframes to fill the dam could affect water supplies in Egypt, and therefore stability in that water-dependent country.
