On the horizon

The Nile Basin Initiative’s presidential summit kicks off on 22 June in Uganda. The summit was originally slated for mid-May, but was postponed to give Egypt the chance to decide whether it would resume its membership in the initiative, which it had frozen in 2010. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi discussed preparations for the summit with Ugandan President Yoweri Musevini during a phone call yesterday, Ahram Online reports.
