The Ethiopian dam, built on the Nile River, has already become a landmark in African history - but also a significant geo-political hotspot. Ethiopia hopes that the dam will not only bring electricity to millions, but also create new tourist attractions through the creation of new islands. On the other hand, Egypt, which relies almost entirely on the river's water, sees it as a existential threat. Is a massive war on the horizon?
