- speeder 10y agoI am talking about people like the guy in the article... not the countries that created the situation.
- jsankey 10y agoI see, I did misinterpret your point somewhat. The situation is still relevant to individual would be claimants, though. Even though Egypt and Sudan don't want to claim the region I don't think they're too keen on random third parties staking a claim either. You'd be surrounded unfriendly governments.
