major river in northeastern Africa From Wikiquote, the free quote compendium
The Nile is a major north-flowing river in North Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world. The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The latter is the source of most of the water and fertile soil. The former is the longer. The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source being as-yet undetermined, and located in either Rwanda or Burundi. It flows north through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda, and southern Sudan. The Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, and flows into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
