The irrigation ministers of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan held talks in Cairo on Monday over Ethiopia's mega-dam project, which Egypt fears could deprive it of life-giving Nile water.
This was the second of a series of four meetings regarding the huge dam Ethiopia is building on the Blue Nile.

I have no doubt, that there is a dispute here. However, on the map, obviously Ethiopia and Sudan are to the South. So, I'm missing something. Also, one might remember, the term "Blue Nile" as labelled on the map, versus just plain "Nile". I don't see how what they build in Ethiopia interferes with Egypt. I don't think it is the equator in this case.
