Oh dam! Water is all this about? The GERD dispute and the future of the Nile River

This week we discuss the crisis in Afghanistan with The New Arab's Kamal Afzali, and our US correspondent, Brooke Anderson.

Then we explore the issues surrounding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and ask what the future holds for the mega project, and who could benefit the most.

And finally, we speak with leaders from the Mandaean community, to hear how their exodus has changed the religion, and how they are keeping traditions alive.
