yikes
last week as you may recall from the attached
nepal was claiming china had nibbled off 75 sq km of
the kalapani area adjoining &
including their western tripoint
& today she is claiming india has done the exact same
thing there
except the supposed damages are 5 times as great in
this case
http://newsblaze.com/story/20051210073733nnnn.nb/newsblaze/OPINIONS/Opinions.html
but it may be worth noting also
that this new article reiterates the contention made
in the earlier one that the tripoint is at
the source of the kali aka mahakali aka kalapani river
in accordance with 19th century treaties
whereas the 1961 cnnp agreement in
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS050.pdf
at appendix 2 under article 1
seems to place cninnpw at the watershed trijunction of
this kali & 2 distinctly different
rivers named tinkar & mapchu or karnali
which must be nearby but actually in a different
location
so maybe it is worth asking too if a single
miscomprehension could explain a double nibble
