Wall Street Journal Video on Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

 The Wall Street Journal posted on 13 June 2024 a six and one-half-minute video titled "Why Ethiopia's $5 Billion Megadam Worries Egypt and Sudan."

The video reviews the well-known concerns of Egypt and Sudan about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile.  It points out that so far the holding back of water behind the dam has not caused any harm to Sudan and Egypt and has actually helped control flooding in Sudan.  The makers of the video were unable to obtain comments from any of the three governments.
