Sudan Nile Dam Threatens To Drown Nubian Villages

The head of the anti-dam committee, Ezzeldeen Idris, told Al-Monitor that it is unclear how many villages will drown.

“The dam implementation unit failed to provide us with a feasibility study that tells us how high the dam will be, so we can't clearly say how many villages will be submerged,” said Idris, who lives in Fareeg, one of the villages threatened.

Sometimes government officials make revealing statements about the dam, helping Nubians to estimate the extent of the damage.
