Nile states hold 'crisis talks'
The 10 states that share the Nile waters met in Uganda to discuss the future of the river. The talks came amid growing regional tensions over the world's longest river.
Egypt is reported to have said it would regard any attempt to alter the Nile status as an act of war.
The Nile is vitally important to the survival of 160 million people who share the basin in which it flows, but to Egypt the river is a matter of life and death, as the country has almost no other source of water.
