Why Third World?
The โthree worldsโ model first arose as a way of mapping the various players in the Cold War.
The third world countries comprised countries that were not part of the cold war.
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, which began following World War II.
The cause of the cold war is thought to be tensions between the two nations at the end of World War II, the ideological conflict between both the United States and the Soviet Union, the emergence of nuclear weapons, and the fear of communism in the United States.

The GERD | The Giant On The Blue Nile
The GERD is a hydroelectric dam that's being built over the blue nile.
โข It's located in the Benishangul-Gumuz region, the western tip of Ethiopia.
โข Construction began in 2011, and was expected to finish by 2017; it's 5 years late already.
โข Late PM Meles Zenawi literally laid the foundation for the dam project, however, it was HIM Haile Selassie who conceived of the idea back in 1964.
Technical-facts
โข The GERD is a roller-compacted concrete gravity type dam.
โข It is a 6GW dam with a 74 billion cubic meter capacity. It is expected to produce 15,000 GWh yearly.
โข The GERD is 75% complete as of July 2020. News outlets report that number has risen to 80%.
โข Webuild Group is the main construction contractor for the dam project, while other foreign groups were awarded contracts for electromechanical works after METEC was removed and charged with corruption.
โข The dam officially started filling in 2020, and is expected to finish filling in 4 to 7 years.
โข When completed, the dam will be the largest of its kind in Africa, and 7th largest in the world.
