Tide of censure for African dams
Jim Giles
Abstract
A wave of Chinese-built dams in Africa, particularly the Merowe project in Sudan, could have devastating consequences for local communities. Jim Giles reports.
On the arid plains that surround the Nile north of Khartoum in Sudan, a huge dam is slowly taking shape. The billion-dollar Merowe project will more than double the amount of electricity that Sudan can produce, and is just one of a dozen new dam projects being built across Africa using Chinese money and expertise.
