I don’t know if this is going to show up as a big story today, but I think it should.
On the positive side, it’s a massive accomplishment for Ethiopia because it will double their electricity supply.
On the negative, it is a source of significant geopolitical tension in North-East Africa. This is one of those situations that can devolve into war over time.
