In the Horn of Africa, tensions are escalating tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a massive hydroelectric project vital to Ethiopia’s development but viewed as an existential threat by downstream nations, particularly Egypt and Sudan. At the heart of the current friction is U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that the US funded the dam. The Ethiopian government has consistently denied his claims. Trump’s vocal support for Egypt’s concerns over the dam, including his past suggestion that Egypt might “blow up the dam,” raises questions about his motivations. Trump’s backing for Egypt is tied to broader geopolitical interests, specifically his desire for Egypt to support Israel’s agenda in the Gaza conflict, including plans for establishing a “humanitarian city” near the Rafah border.
