 </span></blockquote>well it is now in fragmentary boundarypointese english<br/>
<br/>
djeret means the tripoint of djibouti with eritrea & ethiopia<br/>
which is coincidentally the point where the united nations <br/>
boundary commission is supposed to begin its demarcation of <br/>
the entire eret border<br/>
<br/>
full marks for conciseness there<br/>
<br/>
& a try is any earnest endeavor to visit a tripoint<br/>
or even just to try pointing at it<br/>
whether in person or virtually<br/>
& it is among the most important & felicitous of our many other <br/>
bp shorthand expressions<br/>
<br/>
the methodology of the try has been reduced in this case to <br/>
shuttle diplomacy by an american envoy<br/>
which makes it a paragon of the indirect approach <br/>
indeed performed in real curlicues thru addis ababa & asmara<br/>
since the first 3 direct approaches or tries by the boundary <br/>
commission to locate & mark this virgin tripoint<br/>
backed & supported by practically the entire world community & <br/>
certainly cheered by us <br/>
have all stalled owing to postwar resentments mainly in these <br/>
national capitals<br/>
<br/>
we have been monitoring the crazy vicissitudes of this ongoing <br/>
nip & tuck tripoint try practically daily for several months now<br/>
<br/>
you could search back thru these last few months of messages <br/>
using the term djeret to fill in any other blanks <br/>
whether in your understanding of the language or the situation<br/>
but basically you now have the full skinny up to the present <br/>
moment<br/>
so thanx for the question & the try<br/>
& please do continue to ask about anything you dont get<br/>
