Africa’s largest dam is operating. So why are thousands and thousands nonetheless at nighttime? | DW News

Ethiopia built Africa’s biggest dam but more than half its people still have no reliable power. The surplus is flowing south to Kenya instead, where a growing tech economy needs exactly what Ethiopia has to sell. DW’s Sella Oneko, Eshete Bekele, and Shewangizaw Wegayehu report from both countries on the gap between what the dam promised and what it has delivered. Plus, we ask energy economist Dr Lungile Mashele what it will actually take to electrify a continent where 600 million people remain without power.
