WATER TO KILL FOR BY JACOB ZOCHERMAN
Kalokol's fishing village, one of many communities which could be devastated when the Gibe 3 dam becomes operational. The construction of the Gibe 3 dam in southern Ethiopia is meant to guarantee large parts of the Ethiopian energy supply, but the price is high: over a half million people risk starvation when the river they live on is choked off. Now the conflict for resources is escalating and many fear a deadly war for water. Lake Turkana's water level could fall 10 to 12 meters as a direct result of the dam construction. The people along the lake's shores fear for the future and are taking up weapons in the struggle for natural resources. (KEYSTONE/KONTINENT/Jacob Zocherman)
