Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are back at the negotiating table.
They are hoping to resolve a years-long dispute over Ethiopia's multi-billion dollar hydroelectric dam on the Blue Nile.
Sudan and Egypt are worried the dam will limit their own water supply - and pose an existential threat for generations to come.
Egypt is calling for a legally binding agreement.
But for years now, Ethiopia has remained defiant.
So what can Egypt do, if these latest negotiations fail?
And what will be the long-term consequences of this dam?
Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom
