Ethiopia to continue Nile mega-dam filling amid spat with Egypt, Sudan

Description

Ethiopia's Water Minister Seleshi Bekele says his country will continue to fill a mega-dam on the Nile River that has caused a dispute with downstream neighbours Egypt and Sudan. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has been a source of tension in the Nile River basin ever since Ethiopia broke ground on it in 2011. SOUNDBITE
