 </span></blockquote>i would guess <br/>
in answer<br/>
only wishfully thought ones if any<br/>
<br/>
for tho it is true all 3 bicdrw countries are named in the article<br/>
& tho even the birw & cdrw borders are mentioned specifically<br/>
it is nevertheless highly unlikely that any of these folks<br/>
nor practically any other folks for that matter except maybe us<br/>
would ever be just hanging out there exactly at the bicdrw tripoint <br/>
<br/>
i mean<br/>
seeing as it is situated in the midst of a river confluence <br/>
per<br/>

where several of the mentioned places can be found<br/>
<br/>
perhaps near bicdrw <br/>
very loosely speaking<br/>
but not plausibly at bicdrw<br/>
<br/>
& even anywhere at all near bicdrw is still unlikely<br/>
even very loosely speaking<br/>
because<br/>
for one thing<br/>
the mentioned cdrw border area is in the wrong province for this<br/>
falling in fact much closer to cdrwug than to bicdrw<br/>
while for the other thing the mentioned birw border area <br/>
tho possibly in the right general neighborhood<br/>
still refers only to an entire province & forest<br/>
rather than to the tricountry area in particular<br/>
<br/>
in fact the only birw border crossing that is actually mentioned <br/>
namely ruhororo <br/>
is shown by multimap to be at least 30km above the tripoint<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so it is certainly a reasonable question & even a good try<br/>
especially as 2 of the 3 countries invoked are so small anyway<br/>
<br/>
but of course<br/>
the mention of 3 countries does not necessarily mean a <br/>
tricountry point is intended or comprehended<br/>
nor even necessarily that a greater tricountry area is involved</div>
