The Nile River Conflict

The Niler River Conflict is a very sensitive topic, especially in the North Eastern part of Africa. The Upstream Nations as they call them are angry over the distribution of the Nile River's water sources. Currently Egypt and Sudan control the Nile's water, but these Upstream Nations are fighting for shares of the water. Most of these nations are experiencing famines and droughts, which means that they desperately need a share of the Nile River. The Upstream Nations are currently trying to negotiate with Egypt and Sudan. If these countries don't agree to a resolution quick it could very well lead to war. If they agree on certain terms, all countries would relieve themselves of any more possible deaths. But if they don't come to an agreement soon there could be millions lost.
