Egypt and Sudan’s Escalating Border Dispute

Foreign Affairs published on 15 May 2017 an article titled “Egypt and Sudan’s Escalating Border Dispute” by Maged Atef.

The author argues that Sudan’s position over the disputed Sudan-Egyptian border’s Halaib Triangle has improved because of Sudan’s improved relations with Saudi Arabia and the United States. The dispute dates back to 1899 and periodically appears as a problem in Egyptian-Sudanese relations.
