borders and territories have been an
0:04
integral part of the world's political
0:06
structure since ancient times however
0:09
there is a region in the world that
0:11
doesn't belong to any country this
0:13
region is called teranas in Latin which
0:18
means the land or the territory that no
0:20
one
0:21
owns the world's only terania is located
0:25
in birta a 260 km desert region situated
0:30
between Egypt and
0:31
Sudan BTA has an interesting story bta's
0:36
area is the same as that of
0:40
Luxembourg when Egypt and Sudan were
0:42
British colonies British cartographers
0:45
drew two maps in 1899 to accurately Mark
0:49
the boundaries of the two
0:51
countries the region bordering Egypt and
0:53
Sudan was inhabited by various
0:56
tribes the British first demarcated a
0:59
straight and lean near border without
1:01
bringing them into their position then
1:04
in
1:05
19002 the British officers decided that
1:08
all the tribes that wanted to leave in
1:10
Egypt would be kept within the borders
1:12
of Egypt and the same decision was taken
1:15
in
1:16
Sudan as a result the new boundary was
1:19
drawn
1:20
again B belonged to Egypt according to
1:24
this boundary as it was the grazing
1:26
around the abda tribe of Aswan
1:30
while the adjacent Hal triangle region
1:33
was included in Sudan due to its
1:35
proximity to
1:37
Kum the main difference between B and
1:40
Hal triangles is that the lad is closer
1:44
to the Red Sea and has Port facilities
1:46
and oil and mineral
1:49
reserves as a result both Egypt and
1:52
Sudan have been claiming it since the
1:54
British area as a result both Egypt and
1:58
Sudan have been claiming it since the
2:00
British
2:01
era although Sudan initially retained
2:04
its rights Egypt later took over the
2:07
region under President Gamal Abdul Naser
2:10
by sending an army later in the peace
2:13
treaty the two countries decided that
2:15
the issue over the region would be
2:17
resolved through diplomatic
2:19
negotiations however no clear decision
2:22
could be made about Hal's
2:24
trits in recent times the tribal people
2:27
of the region have claimed to be
2:29
Egyptian s assuming that their rights
2:32
will be vested in Egypt however Sudan
2:35
still includes the region as part of
2:38
Sudan on its map since neither Egypt nor
2:41
Sudan considered spea as part of their
2:45
country in this case the country that
2:47
claims Bea as its own will no longer
2:51
have possession of the Hal triangle this
2:54
is why BTA whe is unclaimed and does not
2:56
belong to any
2:58
country many the people have claimed BTA
3:01
as their country since 2014 but no
3:04
International Organization un or other
3:07
countries have brought that claim into
3:10
context even though BTA is the world's
3:13
only habitable but free region anyone
3:16
cannot go and claim ownership of this
3:19
region BTA is a unique region that
3:22
doesn't belong to any country but it has
3:25
an interesting history and unresolved
3:27
territorial disputes
3:30
while it remains unclaimed the world
3:32
watches and waits to see which country
3:35
will claim as its own
