10 countries has ratified an agreement on the equitable use of Nile River resources

A regional partnership involving 10 countries has ratified an agreement on the equitable use of Nile River resources, despite Egypt’s opposition.
This agreement on the equitable use of Nile River resources has come into effect immediately.
This move aims to address water resource management amid rising tensions linked to Ethiopia’s controversial dam project on the Blue Nile.

Countries that have ratified the accord include Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania.
Egypt and Sudan have not signed the agreement, while Congo abstained; Kenya has not submitted its ratification documents.
The Nile Basin Initiative hailed the accord as a collective effort for sustainable water use, beneficial for future generations.
Ongoing tensions are exacerbated by Ethiopia’s $4 billion dam project on the Blue Nile, raising concerns for Egypt’s water and irrigation supply.
