Quid the Nile......

Reader comment on item: Syria's Looming Water Calamity
in response to reader comment: That is nice

Submitted by Jon, a Brit in Euroland (France), Jun 6, 2014 at 06:37

Seems to me that we are going to have another issue here, and that is the disposition of Nile waters between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt... This was the subject of a treaty, negotiated between Italy and the British Empire... which gave the "lion's share" to the British lion (ie Egypt....) The emerging Ethiopia is reportedly in a dam building mode today.....
