<div id="ygrps-yiv-1192720524">tripoint was not precisely fixed as of 1979<br/>
but is situated in the mekrou river at about<br/>
n lat 11d 54m 15s &<br/>
e long 2d 25m 10s<br/>
<br/>
it was formerly a vague french colonial administrative trijunction in a<br/>
remote wilderness area<br/>
<br/>
no official instrument describes its situation very clearly<br/>
tho it is depicted on maps at the end of a straight line sector of the<br/>
niger burkina faso boundary<br/>
nor is there even any indication whether the tripoint falls along the<br/>
thalweg or median line of the river</div>
