recent icj decision
http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/idocket/ibn/ibnframe.htm
places the tripoint on the thalweg of the river niger
tho according to brownlie
it had been fixed on the median line
per 1906 anglo french agreement
about 3km north of a cairn at the madekale tuandi lolo
road junction

at that time the anglo french boundary was moved about
20km down river
to compensate france for renouncing her fishing rights
in newfoundland

w long 3d 37m
n lat 11d 42m
still by very rough guess

closest known pic about 25 km upriver at gaya niger
