Summary: Completed in 2020, the Renaissance Dam, built by Ethiopia on the Blue Nile, is perceived by downstream Egypt as a serious threat to its water security. Egypt has tried to prevent its construction and would now like to slow down its filling. Negotiations to date have failed, with a clear resurgence of tension between the two states. What is at stake in this conflict?
