Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

Egypt has issued a fresh warning to Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, vowing to protect its Nile water security as tensions flare anew. The dispute pits Egypt, which depends on the Nile for most of its fresh water, against the U.S.-backed Ethiopian dam project on the Blue Nile. Egypt's military, ranked among Africa's most powerful, has framed water access as a red line, reigniting regional debate over the long-running standoff.
