Damming the Nile
Ethiopia is building one of Africa's biggest dams, which will generate huge amounts of electricity to power its industrial revolution and to sell to surrounding countries. But by diverting the flow of the Blue Nile, Ethiopia could anger neighbouring Egypt and Sudan.
You can experience the scale of the dam in Virtual Reality on the 麻豆社 site. Head to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-43117710
