A colossal dam is near completion on Ethiopia’s stretch of the Nile, a project so large that it promises to set the country on a path to industrialization that could lift tens of millions out of poverty.

Downstream in Egypt, where the Nile meets the sea, the story is different. For the Egyptians the dam is a giant, menacing barrier that could be used to hold back the source of nearly all the country’s water.

Egypt depends on the Nile River to secure 95% of the water needed for different purposes such as drinking, household uses, agriculture, fishing source, water transportation, tourism, electricity generation from the High Dam and industry.

Ethiopians see building the dam as a fundamental right, one that could bring electricity to the more than half of Ethiopians who don’t have access at home. Egyptians see their fate potentially falling into foreign hands.

In this video we take a look at this grand project by Ethiopia and why Egypt sees it as a threat to it’s livelihood.
