Egypt: Yes, review the Nile Treaty

In no other continent have there been strictures imposed on countries exploiting their natural resources the way those surrounding Lake Victoria have been through a treaty none of them was involved in signing. But now things seem to be about to change with the news that the 1929 treaty will be reviewed to allow the East African countries to exploit the lake waters for irrigation, reports the Daily Nation.
