Nile water controversy

The Institute for Security Studies and the Ethiopian International Institute for Peace and Development organized a seminar in Addis Ababa on June 3, 2010, on the controversial Nile water question.

The two organizations released a summary of the remarks made at the seminar titled "The Historical Dispute over the Sharing of the Nile: Breaking the Deadlock and Charting a Way Forward."

Most of the speakers were Ethiopian. Not surprisingly, the report (PDF) has an Ethiopian slant to it.
