Despite having fought five wars with Israel, the country Egypt is most likely to come into conflict with next is Ethiopia, and the issue is the Nile. The Blue Nile, which supplies the majority of the water to the Egyptian Nile, begins in Ethiopia. In 2011, Addis Ababa announced a joint project with China to build a massive hydroelectric project on the Blue Nile called the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, scheduled to be finished by 2020. The flow to Egypt should continue; but in theory, the dam could also hold a year's worth of water, and completion of the project would give Ethiopia the potential to hold the water for its own use, thus drastically reducing the flow into Egypt. Water wars are considered to be among the most imminent conflicts this century, and this is one to watch. — Tim Marshall

The Nicaragua Grand Canal project is funded by a Hong Kong businessman who is adamant that the Chinese government not be involved in the project. Given the participation of China’s government in all aspects of life, this is unusual. The $50-billion cost estimate for the project, which is due for completion in the early 2020s, is four times the size of the entire Nicaraguan economy. Exactly who is financially backing the project is unclear, but Nicaragua’s president signed on the plan with alacrity and scarcely a glance at the 30,000 people who may be required to move from their lands. The canal will split the country in two and six municipalities will find themselves divided. There will be only one bridge across the canal along its entire length. The president argues the project will bring tens of thousands of jobs and much-needed investment and revenue to the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. — Tim Marshall
