Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Powers Joy and Dread

 The Washington Post published on 15 October 2020 an article titled "Africa's Largest Dam Powers Dreams of Prosperity in Ethiopia--and Fears of Hunger in Egypt" by Max Bearak and Sudarsan Raghavan.

The authors assess the impact of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile from the perspective of Ethiopians who seek adequate electricity and Egyptian farmers who want to grow crops in the desert.
