摘要：Nile, the longest transboundary river in the world is politically full of tension, mistrust, and diplomatic conflict between the Northeastern African countries for centuries. Today, cooperation between the main riparian states in the Eastern Nile Basin (Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan) is becoming more serious than ever in resolving emerging conflicts over the construction and filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Besides, in all basin states, there will be dramatic population growth and the demand for freshwater has increased, then the region's water supply per capita would be reduced by 50% in the next 20 years that will aggravate regional tension over water. Thus, as the Nile water is scarce and riparian needs are growing, conflict potential is real, and the author’s recommended that future cooperation on how to use the Nile water in the principle of reasonable and equitable utilization for mutual benefit is the solution, because for one country better off and to other countries worse off makes the region more stresses for water. This study investigated the conflict management of the Nile River between the basin countries from the past, present, and future using different integrative literature review, which summarizes past and present research works, drawing overall conclusions, highlighting unresolved issues, and then provide directions for future research.
