Ethiopia has officially inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) — Africa’s largest hydroelectric project. While Addis Ababa celebrates it as a symbol of unity and development, the move has reignited tensions across the region.
In this episode of The Red Line, Abdu E. Ali speaks with Suleiman A. Hussin about:
GERD’s inauguration and what it means for Ethiopia’s economy and people
The long shadow of Nile water treaties (1929, 1959, 2015 Declaration of Principles, 2024 Cooperative Framework Agreement)
Egypt and Sudan’s protests and the risks downstream
Ethiopia’s escalating rhetoric against Eritrea and the Red Sea question
Reports of a new Ethiopian military command post near Eritrea (France-based Africa Intelligence)
The emerging blocs: Eritrea–Egypt–Somalia vs. Ethiopia backed by the UAE
Scenarios for cooperation, confrontation, or collapse
Is GERD a beacon of progress for the Horn of Africa, or a flashpoint for future conflict?
