Ethiopia Accused by Egypt of Contributing to Rising Nile Waters and Flooding

Egypt has pointed a finger at Ethiopia for the increasing water levels and flooding that have affected two of its provinces in the north this week. The Egyptian government claims that the unusually high levels of the Nile River are directly linked to Ethiopia’s mismanagement of its new contentious dam built on the Blue Nile. The blame has caused tension between the two countries, as Egypt accuses Ethiopia of being responsible for the repercussions of the rising waters.
