Ethiopia summons Egypt's ambassador over Nile dam
None
Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is demanding an official explanation from Egypt after comments from politicians suggesting Egypt attack or sabotage a Nile River dam Ethiopia is building. Dina Mufti, a spokesman for the ministry, said that Egypt's ambassador to Ethiopia has been summoned to explain the "hostile remarks." The spokesman said Ethiopia is awaiting a response.
Ethiopia a week ago started diverting the flow of the Nile River to make way for its $4.2 billion hydroelectric plant, dubbed the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Egypt fears the dam will mean a diminished share of the Nile River. (AP)
