Water Wars: The Impact of GERD on Africa's Hydropolitics
Water scarcity in Africa has reached crisis levels, highlighting the need for mutually beneficial cooperation agreements, as exemplified by the GERD conflict.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Blue Nile river was officially inaugurated by Ethiopia, marking a significant occasion of national pride and international recognition.
During the inauguration week, Ethiopia hosted the second African Climate Summit, where Kenya's President William Ruto signed a deal to purchase electricity generated by the dam.
Ethiopia seems to have initiated a reset in water politics in the Nile Basin after millennia of domination by its downstream neighbour, Egypt.
