the new resource was gratefully received from martin this morning
which basically reported all the major boundary developments of 2003
with some promise of becoming an annual publication of geopolitics
magazine

the specific news for bwnazmzw not previously reported here is that
botswana & zambia had been persistently refuting the notion of the
quadripoint & had been claiming that they actually share a 200 meter
border in the zambezi river
& that zimbabwe had been advocating the existence of the quadripoint
& had been disputing the idea that botswana & zambia share a boundary
other than that point itself

& it was evidently this position that zimbabwe has agreed to drop
so that the bwzm bridge construction can now move forward

but other than in these reported diplomatic positions
there was no actual clarification of the boundaries
