Ethiopia has started generating power from $5bn GERD project | Inside Story
Ethiopia has begun generating power from Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

For Sudan and Egypt, the Nile River's waters are a lifeline for millions of their people.
Ehtiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says there's nothing to worry about, and they should see the dam as an opportunity for all countries in the region.
So who stands to gain ... or lose?
