	Nile - LoveToKnow 1911
		NILE, the longest river of Africa, and second in length of all the rivers of the globe, draining a vast area in north-east Africa, from the East African lake plateau to the shores of the Mediterranean.
		In the fork of the two rivers stands Khartum,' the capital of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, whilst on the western bank of the White Nile is Omdurman, the former Mandist capital.
		Strabo (a contemporary of Juba), who ascended the river as far as Syene, states that very early investigators had connected the inundation of the Lower Nile with summer rains on the far southern mountains, and that their theory had been confirmed by the observations of travellers under the Ptolemies.

		The latter education was pivotal in Abai's grasp of the dynamics of his time; it enhanced his knowledge which thus far had been confined to the world Firdowsi (935-1020), Nizami Ganjavi (1141-1209), Sa'di (1213-1292), and Alisher Navo'i (1441-1501).
		Abai's "Kulembaiu" (1888), "Luckily, I too Became a Governor" (1889), and "The Bailiff Delights in Authority" (1889) are poignant examples of his stance against oppression and the tyranny of the bais.
		Abai's education, however, was not sufficient to fathom the depth of the cultures involved.

	RFA: China's Growing Influence in Central Asia
