I'm wondering why were the lines even redrawn if NOBODY lived in Bir Tawil. I thought the whole reason for redrawing the lines because of the culture of the people living there and the culture of the triangle. If no one lived there, then what was the point of redrawing the lines for cultural reasons. This doesnt make any sense to me.

If you ever encounter any doubt, however small that doubt may be, about who-s to blame just remember- it-s ALWAYS the British ---
If weren-t so self assured about my intrinsic superiority as an Englishman I may be tempted to feel guilty and head out to throw a statue in a river --

So basically despite neither wanting Bir Tawil it is still linked to the ongoing territory dispute. So any other country or person trying to make a serious claim on the land amd settle there is unlikely to be looked at too kindly by either Egypt or Sudan

I say old man. Should we think about this carefully and plot out borders that make sense or should we just draw the lines willy Nilly and hope it doesn't cause us tons of future problems
Who cares about future problems? Draw them Willy nilly

you are missing the biggest point. if you don't get the agreement of multiple states you'll have no state. a state only exist for another state if they agreed to it and see you as valid at some point.

I guess I shall claim it! (Mind you, I have never sat foot here, I have no army, no arsenal of mass destruction, and lack of knowledge of the area) Call me Daenerys Stormborn!

Alright like this comment if you think I should go and make a claim to Bir Tawil. And leave a comment if you'd like to challenge me with your own claim, I dare you!

The Hala-ib Triangle should just be Spit in half, so that both Egypt and Sudan can have it. And the useless land that neither of them want should be spit too.
