Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says allegations Egypt supports rebel groups in Ethiopia are untrue.

Mubarak said he was surprised when Ethiopia made the accusation Tuesday because he thought the two countries enjoyed a good relationship, the BBC reported.

However, the two countries disagree over how to share the waters of the Nile River and Ethiopia has led efforts to end a colonial-era treaty that gave Egypt and Sudan 90 percent of the river's water.
