Don’t underestimate any country in scramble for waters of the Nile

All the countries that can defuse the simmering conflict in the Horn of Africa in December, when the African Transitional Force mission in Somalia ends, are in the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI).

I like the term “derriere” borrowed from the French. It is the most pleasant and dignified (actually flattering) way I know of to refer to the human bottom, or whatever you call it depending on your upbringing and socialisation.

You can inoffensively refer to your mother-in-law’s derriere in her hearing; I don’t know which other word you can do that without coming off as a despicable character.
