Ethiopian authorities have expressed their contentment over Burundi’s decision to sign a new Nile water equitable sharing treaty that will end Egypt’s historical control over the Nile water. Last week, Burundi became the sixth member of the Nile basin countries to append its signature to a new Nile Basin Co-operative Framework in a bid to replace a colonial era treaty and ensure a new equitable water sharing agreement that will end Egypt’s historical control over the Nile water.
The new Nile Basin Co-operative Framework was approved in May last year in Entebbe, Uganda, by five of the Nile Basin countries, comprising of Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
