                                It has been more than two years since Ethiopia announced its plans to construct the biggest hydro- electric dam in Africa, the Grand Renaissance Dam on the river Nile. This controversial project has from its initiation been a topic of debate among the three countries affected most by this project. Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. Now however after the second year of construction came to an end, Ethiopia has commenced with the route diversion of the Nile in order to be able to begin the actual construction of the dam structure.
