two villages are in dispute along the border with Burkina Faso; much of
Benin-Niger boundary, including tripoint with Nigeria, remains undemarcated, but
states accept 2001 arbitration over disputed Niger River islands; several
villages along the Okpara River are in dispute with Nigeria; in 2001, Benin
claimed Togo moved the boundary stones - joint commission presently resurveying
the boundary
