86 - "Long before modern science triumphed, ancient Egyptians thought the tears of Isis controlled the magnitude and duration of the Nile flood."

135 - "The World Bank also has political guidelines that prevent it from issuing loans for dam projects for which not all Nile countries agree. China's entrance into the African arena, however, change the rules of the game. China did not impose the same requirements for agreement between the countries, and the relationship between loan, investment and project implementation was different from policy conducted by Western countries"
177 - "Europeans' fascination with the quest for finding the sources of the Nile puzzled the locals, and they called the white men traveling through their regions mzungu (lireattly translated as 'someone who wanders aimlessly'), still being the synonym for white people in Swahili."
227 - "Kenya is presumably the only country in the world that exists because of a railway, and in this case, a Nile railway."
235 - "The boundaries of Kenya were drawn as a solution to no societal need than Britain's strategic interests and plans to secure its control over Lake Victoria. This state formation lacked any roots in the societies it brought under its domain: it was created exclusively by an external power, and that external power's dominant minority, which entered the scene and built a state that would benefit their interests."
293 - "The argument that Europeans drew borders straight through ethnic groups, which then suffered divide-and-conquer policy. Burundi and Rwanda, however, defy this general theory. Both countries have precolonial borders, but they have also definitely seen their share of Africa's ethic conflict and mass murder."
305 - "The British accepted through a secret agreement that Rome could take control of Eritrea at the beginning of the 1890s because they needed Rome as an opponent to the Egyptian emperor in order to succeed in therir long term Nile strategy."
175 - "unable to speak a world" . . . (word? such a poetic typo)
