Ethiopia's state media is reporting that the second phase of filling of the country’s controversial Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is nearly complete.
The issue has raised tensions with Ethiopia’s neighbours, Egypt and Sudan.

Ethiopia says the project is essential to its development, but Cairo and Khartoum fear it could restrict their water access.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi joins us live from the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, for the latest updates.
