Angering Egypt and Sudan, Ethiopia completes second phase of filling Africa's largest dam ANI | Updated: Jul 26, 2021 05:18 IST By John Solomou Nicosia [Cyprus], July 26 (ANI): The announcement made by the Ethiopian government last week that it completed the second phase of filling the giant Grand Renaissance Dam (GERD), which is Africa's largest dam, angered Egypt and Sudan. These two countries fear that they will be deprived of quantities of water that are vital for their populations and their economy. Egypt which used diplomatic means to prevent the quick filling of the dam and has even threatened to use military force against Ethiopia has seen its efforts fallen flat on its face and were completely ignored by Addis Ababa.
