Ethiopia's Blue Nile River mega-dam has been a source of tension in the Horn of Africa for a decade
DR Congo President Felix Tshisekedi vowed Sunday to pursue a resolution to a long-running dispute over Ethiopia's Blue Nile River mega-dam during his tenure as chair of the African Union. 
Tshisekedi started his one-year term as AU chair, replacing South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, at a virtual summit of African heads of state and government over the weekend.
In remarks concluding the two-day summit, Tshisekedi said there was "a will to implement innovative solutions leading to the peaceful settlement of differences between countries, notably to provide solutions to problems currently dividing Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over the construction of the Renaissance Dam on the Nile River."
