ADDIS ABABA Ethiopia said on Wednesday it would not be deterred from impounding water at its Nile mega-dam, sparking new warnings from downstream countries Sudan and Egypt, which are worried about their water supply.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has been a source of tension in the Nile River basin ever since Ethiopia broke ground on it in 2011.
Downstream neighbours Egypt and Sudan view the dam as a threat because of their dependence on Nile waters, while Ethiopia considers it essential for its electrification and development.

After a 76-day lockdown against COVID-19, China s central megacity of Wuhan was finally reconnected with the rest of the world on April 8, 2020. One year on, China has made enormous efforts to contain the pandemic and contributed to the global battle against the virus. It was a very bold, timely and wise step which resulted in quick decline in COVID-19 cases, thus more than compensating the loss to the economy, said Omera Naseer, a public health specialist at National Institute of Health in Pakistan. Being a public health specialist, I really admire China s step of lockdown as it has major contributions in containment of COVID-19 not only in China but across the world, he told Xinhua.
