Ethiopia seeks to reassure Egypt over Nile waters

"No one would be left disadvantageous as all riparian countries want to use resources in a reasonable manner... for development," the state-run Ethiopan News Agency quoted Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin as saying.
"This is a work in progress and we are hoping that we would continue negotiations to bridge the gap that exists in different capitals... ," he said after talks on Wednesday with his Egyptian counterpart, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, in Addis Ababa.
Egypt and Sudan are opposed to the new treaty which they believe would reduce their share of the Nile water.
