		Metekkel region is a vast territory in northwest Ethiopia bordering the Republic of the Sudan to the north of the Abbay River (Blue Nile).
		Due to the Oromo settlement south of the Abbay River, other Gonga populations moved to Gojjam to take refuge and they increased the population of the Shinasha communities living north of the river up to Metekkel.
		By the early seventeenth century, the Gonga population south of the Abbay River was already dominated by the Oromo, while the other cluster groups living to the north of the river were regular victims of slave-raiding expeditions of the Christian rulers and their local representatives.

		Taking a “Three-country, One-system” approach to the development of the Nile is essential if this complex river system is to bring maximum benefits, peace and security to the people of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan and their future generations.
		The challenges these countries face, like the Nile River itself, traverse national boundaries and include severe environmental degradation, substantial vulnerability to droughts and floods, food insecurity, and burgeoning populations that are placing increasing demand for already scarce water.
		All three countries look to the Nile River as a solution, yet the magnitude of these challenges is so great that development interventions at the national level are not sufficient in scale or scope to reverse this situation.

	HYDROPOWER OF ETHIOPIA
		The Tis Abbay II (67 MW) hydroelectric project was also studied to a reconnaissance level among other medium capacity hydroelectric projects which are considered for an urgent development, as a means to quickly solve the need for additional generation capacity in the interconnected power system.
		Tis Abbay II was identified by preliminary reconnaissance studies as the project to be developed as a first priority, due to its economic attractiveness, and to its short expected duration of construction.
		And thus, Tis Abbay II project, because no darn is required to regulate flows or to provide the generating head, is likely to provide electrical energy at a lower unit cost than other potential schemes in the program.
