US hosts talks to resolve dam dispute

Foreign ministers from Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are in the US capital, Washington DC, for Wednesday's crunch talks on the controversial building of a mega dam along the River Nile.

The Grand Renaissance dam, under construction in northern Ethiopia, will become Africa's largest hydroelectric power station when completed.

More than 1000 women from every African country across all spheres have gathered at the second annual Women in Africa Dialogue in Johannesburg South Africa with a mandate to create a safe space for women to discuss their achievements and explore opportunities.
