contents 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.
