Some Egyptian experts accused the United States and Israel of raising differences among Nile Basin countries to affect Egypt and Sudan, warning that Nile Basin countries may fight for water in the future. They referred that Egypt, with a population of about 77 million people, would never give up its historic rights in the Nile water.Nile Basin countries delayed signing a water-sharing agreement rejected by Egypt and Sudan, which opposed any reduction in their quotas. "Wars could break out for water in the future unless an agreement is reached on how to share the river's water," said Dr. Eglal Rafat, professor of political science at Cairo University.
