notes: On 26th July, the body of the chief engineer of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam - Eng Simegnew - was discovered in his car in Addis Ababa. He was shot in the back of the head. Protests erupted in his hometown in Amhara after his suspected murder. The construction of the dam has caused a long-standing dispute with Egypt, which fears the dam could reduce its share of the Nile waters.
