Egypt and Sudan are not happy at four African countries signing a deal to share the River Nile.

Rwanda, Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania signed the new framework on Friday while Kenya issued a support statement. Ten nations share the resources of the river. Colonial-era agreements gave the biggest share of water to the two downstream countries, Egypt and Sudan.
