Africa’s largest and perhaps most controversial dam will be inaugurated tomorrow.
The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will deliver electricity to tens of millions of people but downstream, Egypt views it as an “existential threat”.
It relies on the Nile for almost all of its fresh water and fears the dam could reduce the flow of the river.
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith reports from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
