Ethiopia Declares Grand Renaissance Dam Complete, Plans September Inauguration
- Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared that the water filling stage of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has been completed, assuring that this milestone has not caused any impact on Egypt's Aswan Dam.
- The dam, begun in 2011, sparked nearly 12 years of unsuccessful negotiations between Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan over water management and dam operation.
- Egypt views the GERD as an existential threat to its water supply, relying on the Nile for over 90 percent of its needs amid population growth and climate pressures.
- President Trump blamed earlier US governments for financially supporting the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, alleging it diminished the Nile's water flow to Egypt, while depicting himself as a mediator in the dispute despite expert challenges to his claims.
- With negotiations stalled and no binding agreement, the dam's completion intensifies regional tensions, leading Egypt to strengthen military and diplomatic measures while Ethiopia asserts sovereign development.
