The leaders of Ethiopia and Egypt signaled on Sunday that their two countries had achieved a breakthrough in the ongoing dispute over the Grand Renaissance Dam, Ethiopia's €3.4 billion ($4 billion) hydroelectric project. The ambitious project will be Africa's largest hydroelectric dam. It is being built on the Blue Nile tributary of the Nile River, Egypt's main source of water for consumption, industry and farming.
