<div id="ygrps-yiv-1124042435">Hi, Francesco,<br/>
<br/>
Here are some texts about this area (below your quote).   Note that<br/>
the reference to the Triangle is only about the area north of the<br/>
&quot;straight&quot; de-jure boundary.  I have not been able to find out if<br/>
Sudan has no dispute with  Egypt over the little part to the weest of<br/>
the disputed are that juts south of the &quot;Straight border.  <br/>
There are actually two issues going on here.   Some reference I have<br/>
seen say that Sudan only actually controls part of the &quot;traingle&quot; area<br/>
north of the &quot;straight&quot; border.  <br/>
<br/>

&gt; &gt; Hi, <br/>
&gt; &gt; Can anyone explain the &quot;administrative border&quot; in the north-east <br/>
&gt; and south-east of sudan?<br/>
<br/>
Here are some texts about that:<br/>
<br/>
Egypt lays claim to the 20,580 sq km territory in the south of Egypt<br/>
known as the Hala&#39;ib triangle. At present, the area is under partial<br/>
Sudanese administration (legacy of an archaic and illegitimate treaty<br/>
in 1899) but is Egyptian land, and should be recognised as such.  From<br/>
&quot;UN On-line paper&quot; (not official UN).  <br/>
<br/>
Egypt and Sudan each claim to administer triangular areas which extend<br/>
north and south of the 1899 Treaty boundary along the 22nd Parallel<br/>
(in the north, the &quot;Hala&#39;ib Triangle,&quot; is the largest with 20,580 sq<br/>
km); in 2001, the two states agreed to discuss an &quot;area of<br/>
integration&quot; and withdraw military forces in the overlapping areas. <br/>

<br/>
State Department says &quot;Egypt Claims, De Facto Sudan&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
HALA&#39;IB SKIRMISH: At least two Sudanese were killed in a border<br/>
skirmish in Hala&#39;ib at the end of June that left another six soldiers<br/>
injured. In response, a group of Sudanese attacked Egyptian diplomatic<br/>
residences in Khartoum and evicted the families living there. On 30<br/>
June Sudan accused Egyptian troops of killing another Sudanese soldier<br/>
in the disputed border area of Hala&#39;ib. Khartoum complained to the<br/>
United Nations Security Council about alleged Egyptian attacks in the<br/>
disputed Hala&#39;ib area, and asked for the Arab League to mediate. In<br/>
Cairo, military officials denied that any units had been moved south,<br/>
although they did not rule out redeployments within the southern<br/>
region. (VoA 30/Jun/95; AP 3/Jul/95) </span></blockquote></div>
