Delegates from East African countries are meeting in Uganda on Friday to demand a greater access to waters of the river Nile. Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi are demanding changes to the Treaty dating back to 1929 which gives Egypt the right to use ninety per cent of the water of the World's longest River. <br/>Seven countries are meeting on Friday on the banks of Lake Victoria to sign a draft agreement which gives upstream nations more access to water which is a dwindling resource. Egypt and Sudan are refusing to sign the agreement as they fear that they need more water from the Nile every year. The pact may lead to the flow of water in the higher reaches of the river being restricted. Egypt has warned other countries not to sign the agreement which could add to regional tensions. <br/>
