In many parts of the world, countries are fighting for land. The biggest war is currently going on between Palestine and Israel, in which thousands of people have been killed. But there is a piece of land just a few kilometers away from Israel which no country wants to occupy. Actually, we are talking about an area named Bir Tawil, which is located between the border of Egypt and Sudan. Neither Sudan nor Egypt claims this desert area.
The region has been a challenge for international leaders over the past 60 years. This 2060 square kilometer area in the northeastern part of the Sahara Desert has been named by nomads as Bir Tawil, which means well with high water in Arabic.
Why wouldn't any country want to be occupied?
The biggest question is that on one hand there is such a big fight going on in the neighborhood for a small piece of land, then why Egypt, Sudan or any other country does not want to occupy this vacant land.. Actually, the reason behind this is There is Britain and also the boundaries drawn in the 20th century. Once the entire area was under British occupation, a boundary line was drawn in the 1899 boundary agreement between Britain and the then government of Sudan. Problems began to arise in the area soon after Bittern's departure, but in 1902 another border treaty was signed between Egypt and Sudan and the dispute over the area escalated. Because of these two border agreements, Bir Taweel became an area over which if any country asserted its control it would lose control of a large part of it (the Aleppo Triangle).
Being a drought-prone area, Bir Tawil is neither mineral rich nor fertile. This is why neither Sudan nor Egypt want to include this area in their country. Both countries have considered it better to leave the dispute over this sparsely vegetated and sparsely populated desert area unresolved.
…then people started trying to create a new country
When both countries decided to leave their dispute over this desert area unresolved, many people tried to gain control over it. In 2014, a Virginia farmer planted a flag in Bir Tawil and declared himself governor of the state of Northern Sudan. He said that he wanted his daughter to become a princess. For this he made his own flag and also started trying to make his own currency. But his claim was rejected. Three years after this incident, in 2017, a resident of Indore declared this place as his country and named this place Kingdom of Dixit.
Apart from these two, many other people also tried to make this place their country. But this was done only for the purpose of visiting this place in the Sahara desert. Due to drought no country is interested in this area.
