Ethiopia seeks to limit outsiders' role in Nile dam talks

Ethiopia seeks to limit outsiders' role in Nile dam talksEthiopia said Thursday it wants to limit the role of outside parties in revived talks over its Nile River mega-dam, a sign of lingering frustration over a failed attempt by the US to broker a deal earlier this year.
