Agence France Presse published on 22 August 2022 an article titled "After 'Doomsday' Floods, Sudanese Fear Worse to Come."
Heavy rains in Sudan's White Nile basin are causing severe flooding; so far this year, 146,000 Sudanese have been negatively impacted along the White Nile and the Nile River.
Comment: The Blue Nile, which begins in Ethiopia, joins the White Nile at Khartoum, thus creating the Nile River. Much of the flooding has been downstream from Khartoum. This is a situation where the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile may have mitigated the flooding this year in Sudan while Ethiopia was filling the reservoir behind the dam. Sudan and Ethiopia need to explore how they can coordinate efforts to minimize flooding along the Nile River.
