  This article explores the intricate dynamics of the Nile Basin dispute, a
complex conflict involving Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Our central argument is
that we can gain unique insights into this dispute by employing the principles
of game theory and the Steinhaus cake-cutting problem - a mathematical model of
fair division. These theoretical frameworks offer a novel perspective to
understand the motivations and potential actions of the involved nations. More
importantly, these concepts can illuminate potential pathways toward a
resolution that ensures equitable resource allocation and maintains regional
stability. We will analyze the conflict and explore potential solutions to this
enduring dispute through this lens.
