Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam is seen as it undergoes construction work on the river Nile in Guba Woreda, Benishangul Gumuz Region, Ethiopia September 26, 2019. Zerihun Abebe, a member of the Ethiopian negotiating team said that completing the dam is not just a matter of development, but is more a matter of survival for Ethiopia. The Ethiopian official noted that more 65 million Ethiopian people do not have electricity. “This is a misrepresentation,” Abebe explained, noting that the dam is a question of survival as far as Ethiopia is concerned. Last week, social media platforms in Ethiopia began sharing forums and articles, promoting the dam and belittling Egyptian fears.
