The recent article by Middle East Monitor covers different scales of the current Nile debate, and includes Sudan in the discussion. There is a nice general coverage of issues surrounding Merowe dam, a large dam built in Sudan with Chinese funds that displaced tens of thousands of people - I think 50,000 was the official number. Ali Askouri, a colleague who has written a book about his personal experience as a displaced person from the dam is quoted at the outset of the piece, giving the human dimension to the resulting story.
Catherine Pfeiffer is also quoted in the article - you may remember her from an earlier post on research: http://jveilleux.blogspot.com/2013/11/feature-series-field-experience-in.html
The author, Amelia Smith, then digs into the Ethiopia-Sudan-Egypt debate and brings up good points to create an engaging narrative in a more indepth look at the issue and surrounding issues in the Eastern Nile basin.
