actually 079 i think orc was right the first time there
6 seconds or tenths of a minute
per the world court & still subject to further refinement by the survey commissioners
or say about a 200 meter sector at both the djibouti & sudan triareas
but the difficulty is in relating this 200 meter theoretical frontier to the previously established 25 km demilitarized zone
all of which was supposedly in eritrean territory
for both these ribbons of territory are blowing in the wind quite independently of each other
leaving several probable tripoint positions
some of them possibly indeterminate
& who knows where they even overlap
