(May 31, 2016, (Daily News))--Ethiopia is about to finish 70% of construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), minister of the Ethiopian Government Communication Affairs office Getachew Reda said.
In an interview with the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, Reda added that the finished work included civil engineering and water engineering.
Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan have contracted two French companies to prepare a report on the impact of the dam on the three countries. Reda said that the technical report has nothing to do with the current construction and it is only meant to show its impact on other countries.
“The dam is being built and this will not be affected by the report, but if there is anyone who believes that he would affected after carrying out the study, then it is not our problem in Ethiopia,” Reda said.
The GERD has strained relations between Ethiopia and Egypt since construction began in 2011, with relations reaching their lowest point in 2013. Read more from Daily Mail »
