Here is my blog entry about the Nigeria case.

I also found this article to be helpful in understanding the issues involved.

Thanks for dropping by and for commenting, sis!

Goodness, this water issue is frightening. I can't believe that there are people (read: wealthy, white businessmen) who think that all water should be privately owned and maintained. What's next: patents on air? Surcharges for sunlight?

Some speculate that water plays just as important a role as oil in this current nonsense-- Iraq exports lots and lots of potable water to some of the drier nations in the region.

Thanks for commenting, Jeremy :)

From some articles I've read, water rights is a major but unrecognized issue in the Israel-Palestine conflict.Unfortunately, people often tend to show their worst qualities when fighting over something of great value. Water is so plentiful here in the U.S. that we don't realize what it's like in other parts of the world.
