The GERD is over 20 km (12 miles) from the Sudanese border and about 100 km (62 miles) from the Roseires Dam inside Sudan. The authority said the seismic activity in the Roseires Dam reservoir was consistent with “reservoir-induced seismicity”, where artificial lakes lead to changes in the tectonic environment and fault systems in the region. Ethiopia has experienced a series of earthquakes in recent days, the most significant …
