The Nile begins in the mountains of eastern Africa and flows north into the Mediterranean Sea.
In 2010 Egypt discussed taking military action in cooperation with Sudan against Ethiopia to protect their stake in Nile River, according to internal emails from the U.S. private-security firm Stratfor.
Egypt and Sudan currently receive 90 percent of the river’s water
under colonial-era accords while upstream countries including Uganda,
Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia have been clamoring for a new deal
during more than a decade of talks.
