Ethiopia has completed the construction of mega-lane, says A. Ahmed

Ethiopia states that it has completed the construction of mega-home on the blue Nile, which has long become a source of tension with Egypt and Sudan.

Dambo launched in 2011 with a $ 4 billion budget (2.9 billion pounds) is the largest hydroelectric plant and the main source of pride in Africa.

Ethiopia views the dam as vital to meet its energy needs, but Egypt and Sudan see it threatening their water supply from the Nile.

In a statement, which announced the completion of the project, Prime Minister Abi Ahmed sought to assure his neighbors. “For our neighbors down the current – Egypt and Sudan – our message is clear: the platinum of the Renaissance is not a threat, but a common opportunity,” he said.

In 2020, US President Donald Trump said Egypt threatened to “undermine” the dam – officially known as the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Platinum.

In the conventing step, Abia stated that both Egypt and Sudan would be invited to official inauguration in September.

“We believe in overall progress, joint energy and joint water,” he said.

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and Sudan’s military chief Abdel Fatah al-Burhan met earlier this week and “emphasized their abandon any unilateral measures in the Blue Nile basin,” AFP reports.

The dam is greater than the miles in length and 145 m, the platinum on the blue tributary of the Nile in Northern Ethiopia Highlands, from which 85% of the Nile’s waters flow.

Ethiopia wants the dam to produce desperately necessary electricity, as most of its population – about 60% – have no supplies.

Egypt rests on the Nile River practically for all its fresh water and fears that water flow can be disturbed.

He claimed that only a 2% decrease in the amount of water it receives could lead to the loss of 200,000 hectares of irrigated land.

Sudan also depends heavily on the water from the Nile and shares the problems of Egypt.

Abiy said Ethiopia was “ready to interact constructively” with the two countries.

However, preliminary negotiations could not resolve the differences.
