Is the China-India Border Dispute Shifting East? – The Diplomat
▻https://thediplomat.com/2021/01/is-the-china-india-border-dispute-shifting-east
China and India’s antagonism along the Himalayas is a centuries-old story. Both countries want a fixed boundary line in the Himalayas; yet the physical geography, cultural landscape, and political history of the world’s greatest mountain range has made any straightforward demarcation impossible.
Beginning in the 1840s, an array of British surveyors, generals, and administrators attempted to fix a border between India, Russia, and China’s still-expanding empires. These attempts were challenged by the topographical complexity of the massive Himalayas and the imperial insistence on the elegant “watershed principle” to guide their boundary line. Limited surveying compounded the complex geography and resulted in major segments of the would-be border remaining undefined at the time of independence in 1947.

Petition calls for U.S. to give Northwest Angle to Canada
’Make America great by correcting this critical survey error,’ petition says.
There is a call for the U.S. government to adjust the border near #Manitoba to give Canada the geographic oddity known as the Northwest Angle.
Known simply as the Angle to the 120 people who live there, it is a jetty of #Minnesota sandwiched between Manitoba and northwestern #Ontario.
It is the only place in the United States outside Alaska that is north of the 49th parallel. And it was based on a flawed map from 1755.
“Make America great by correcting this critical survey error,” states a petition, called “Give Canada back the Northwest Angle located in Manitoba,” and created as part of We the People.
Launched in September 2011 under then-President Barack Obama, We the People is a section of the White House website for petitioning policy experts. Petitions that meet a certain threshold of signatures are typically reviewed by administration officials who are prepared to issue official responses.
The threshold for a response is 100,000 signatures, so it could take some more for the Northwest Angle petition to find its way onto the desk of U.S. Congress.
It was created Sunday, and as of Wednesday, had just 32 signatures.
The international boundary that takes in the #Northwest_Angle was made shortly after the Treaty of Paris in 1783 between the U.S. and Britain.
However, Benjamin Franklin and British representatives relied on a 1755 map from American John Mitchell, who was not a professional geographer or map-maker.
He was a physician and botanist who developed an interest in geography and created his map based on materials he found in official archives and private hands. But he misattributed the source of the Mississippi River as being at the edge of Lake of the Woods, and drew the lake itself in the shape of an oval rather than bent and bowed by the multiple bays it actually contains.
The Treaty of Paris stated the boundary between U.S. territory and the British possessions to the north would run “...through the Lake of the Woods to the northwestern-most point thereof, and from thence on a due west course to the river Mississippi.”
The source of the Mississippi River, however, actually lies nearly due south of Lake of the Woods, rather than north and west of it.
The end result is a thumb of land isolated from the rest of the U.S. In those months when Lake of the Woods is free of ice, Angle residents can reach the mainland U.S. directly by boat.
However, to make the journey by land, residents must pass through two Canada-U.S. borders — at the east and southern boundaries of Manitoba.
“Even the most mundane tasks involve a certain amount of shuttle diplomacy. Grocery shopping is once a week, and that’s an hour and 15 minutes, one way,” states a story on the region by CBS News in 2016.
“First, residents have to notify Canadian authorities that they’re about to cross the border. Then, it’s a 60-mile [96.6-km] or so trek through Canada back to the U.S. boundary line to cross back into Minnesota and the nearest town.”

Recently Deciphered 4,500-Year-Old Pillar Shows First Known Record of a Border Dispute
The marble stele, held in the British Museum’s collections for 150 years, also includes the first known use of the term “no man’s land”
/https://public-media.si-cdn.com/filer/8d/d0/8dd0c9f5-f623-4d8d-800e-168ae936c111/lagash_border.jpg)
Finkel believes the pillar was artificially aged by a scribe to improve Lagash’s historical claim to Gu’edina. It appears the scribe also used an archaic form of cuneiform to make the pillar seem older, which made the modern interpretation effort difficult.
The fight between Umma and Lagash is one of the oldest known wars in human history and led to what may be the world’s first peace treaty and one of the oldest legal documents, the Treaty of Mesilim, signed around 2550 B.C. The treaty set up a border that was demarcated with a stele along an irrigation canal, similar to the one on view in the museum.
The peace did not last. Around 2400 B.C., the war between Enmetena and Gishakidu took place, and the boundary was reaffirmed. Eventually, Umma attacked Lagash and successfully destroyed its capital city of Girsu, not long before Sargon the Great took over all of Mesopotamia, paying no heed to even the snarkiest of boundary stones.
Afghan, Pakistani forces clash over border fence
Afghan and Pakistani border forces engaged in an armed clash over building a fence along the #Durand_Line on Sunday, local officials in southern Kandahar province said.
Kandahar police spokesman, Zia Durani, told Pajhwok Afghan News that Pakistani forces tried this afternoon to fence a part of the Durand Line in Shorabak district of Kandahar, but Afghan border forces prevented their move.
He said Pakistani forces in response attacked the Afghan forces and the clash was still underway. No one has so far been hurt in the battle. However, Pakistan closed down the friendship gate in #Spin_Boldak.
A day earlier, Kandahar police chief, Gen. Abdul Raziq, said they had stopped Pakistan from fencing the Durand Line.
He said that Pakistan started fencing the Durand Line in the southern region of the country but they stopped them.
“Two weeks back, Pakistani forces started installation of fence on the border between Spin Boldak and #Shorabak districts of #Kandahar but border forces removed the fence and prevented them from doing so,” Raziq added.
A year back, Afghan and Pakistani forces engaged in heavy clashes over fence installation in #Luqman and #Jahangir areas of Spin Boldak district and both the sides suffered casualties.
Luqman and Jahangir areas are located in the zero point area of the border and they belong to Spin Boldak district.
Pakistan forces last year conducted a population registration process in the two areas and claimed the areas belonged to Pakistan, but Afghan forces prevented them.
The Afghan forces’ interference last year led to a fierce clash that continued for several hours, with both sides sustaining heavy casualties.
After the clash, Afghanistan port with Pakistan was closed for 23 days that caused millions of afghanis losses to traders.

Serbia and Kosovo Talks Could Lead to End of a Long-Standing Feud - Bloomberg
▻https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-08-28/serbia-and-kosovo-talks-could-lead-to-end-of-a-long-standing-feud
via @maliciarogue
could lead to an end,… le contenu de l’article n’est pas aussi optimiste. Ce pourrait être, au contraire, le signal d’un renouveau des conflits.
After the Yugoslav wars, the Western powers that intervened to end the bloodshed hoped the nations that emerged from the conflicts would learn to respect their minorities. A redrawing of borders along ethnic lines would be an admission that these hopes were futile, and it could increase the temptation for minorities in other ex-Yugoslav states to secede. The danger is especially great in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the Serb- and Croat-dominated regions could gravitate toward Serbia and Croatia, and in Macedonia, which has a strong ethnic Albanian minority.
If a swap prompts Albanian nationalists in Macedonia and Kosovo to push harder for a “Greater Albania” and Serbs and Croats move to break up Bosnia, the danger of armed conflicts will re-emerge. That’s a situation no one wants. That’s why German Chancellor Angela Merkel opposes any deal that would involve border changes, even though U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton has said the Trump administration wouldn’t object to such an outcome.

Kosovo-Serbie : une « #rectification_des_frontières » pour une « solution définitive » ?
Le dialogue, poussivement mené entre Belgrade et Pristina sous l’égide de l’Union européenne, était au point mort, mais Aleksandar Vučić et son homologue kosovar Hashim Thaçi ont brusquement décidé d’accélérer le processus et de trouver une « solution définitive », qui passerait par une « rectification des frontières ». Une hypothèse qui pourrait créer un très dangereux précédent.

Les Européens s’inquiètent des discussions sur les frontières entre Serbie et Kosovo
▻https://www.lemonde.fr/europe/article/2018/08/14/les-europeens-s-inquietent-des-discussions-sur-les-frontieres-entre-serbie-e
Les frontières pourraient-elles être de nouveau modifiées dans les Balkans ? Longtemps inimaginable au nom de la stabilité d’une région déchirée par plusieurs guerres dans les années 1990, cette éventualité, qui effraie nombre de chancelleries européennes, a fait un retour inattendu dans le cadre des longues et délicates négociations entre la Serbie et le Kosovo. Dans une déclaration remarquée, le président de cette ancienne région serbe devenue indépendante en 2008, Hashim Thaci, a publiquement expliqué début août que des « corrections frontalières » pouvaient être envisagées dans le cadre « d’une solution pacifique avec la Serbie ».
Cette idée explosive avait jusqu’ici toujours été écartée par les autorités du Kosovo, pays à majorité albanophone, mais où vit également une importante minorité serbe. Principalement concentrée dans le nord du pays, autour de la ville divisée de Mitrovica, celle-ci est toujours entretenue par les autorités de Belgrade, qui n’ont jamais reconnu l’indépendance du Kosovo. Or, cette situation juridique instable constitue le principal point d’achoppement des négociations entre les deux pays. Le nord du Kosovo est devenu une zone de non-droit en proie aux mafias et aux assassinats politiques : en janvier, un opposant politique serbe a été tué en pleine rue.
Même s’il s’est dit opposé à tout « échange de territoire », l’homme fort du Kosovo pourrait accepter de perdre ces territoires contre le rattachement de la vallée de Presevo et des municipalités de Medveda et Bujanovac, des enclaves majoritairement albanophones en territoire serbe. M. Thaci a proposé d’y organiser un référendum, « la seule option pour légitimer les souhaits des Albanais qui y vivent ».
The maritime border dispute between Lebanon and Israel explained
The comments made by Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman at a Tel Aviv conference on January 31 sparked outrage in Lebanon. It brought the issue of the maritime border dispute between Lebanon and Israel back into the spotlight and managed to catch Washington’s attention once again.
Little was happening on this front after the change of Administration in the U.S. After a few months, Lebanese officials stopped announcing that a resumption of mediation efforts was imminent. Then, in October, the decision, by a Total-led consortium to place a bid for Block 9 (which includes a disputed area) in Lebanon’s first licensing round, rekindled interest once again in the topic. But the buzz was discreet, confined to experts and diplomatic circles, until it was out in the open when Liberman described Lebanon’s offshore tender as “very provocative” and urged international companies not to bid, about a month and a half after licenses were awarded (see our roadmap).
The dispute unfolded in December 2010, when Cyprus and Israel signed a maritime border agreement that was denounced by Lebanon because it encroached on parts of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). On July 10, 2011, the Israeli cabinet approved a map of Israel’s northern maritime border, and two days later, the Israeli mission to the United Nations submitted a list of geographical coordinates for the delimitation of the northern limit of Israel’s territorial sea and EEZ. Some of the points defined in the Cypriot-Israeli agreement and submitted later to the U.N. overlap with the Lebanese EEZ.

„Bestandsdaten“ (die Lage von Straßen, Gebäuden, Parks. Schienenwegen usw.) „Verkehrsdaten“ (wer bewgt sich wie von wo nach wo), Personen- und Metadaten (wie ist das alles miteinander verbunden) sind heute die Grundlage für Macht über uns alle. Wer diese Daten kontrolliert, kontrolliert potentiell unsere Bewegungen, also unsere Freiheit dorthin zu gehen, wo wir es wünschen.
Er kann aus den Metagdaten schlußfolgern, was wir tun und sagen. Wenn ich und viele andere, die sich im Netz zu gewerkschaftlichen Themen äußern, an einem Ort zusammentreffen, so ist das eine Demo/Streik/o.ä. . Wenn das Zusammentreffen draußen stattfindet, ist das eine Kundgebung, wenn es in Innenräumen passiert, und die Teilnehmerzahl nicht größer als X ist, ein Organisationstreffen. Gleichzeitig ergibt sich daraus, wer als Rädelsführer / Influencer markiert / getagt wird.
Über diese Daten verfügen Google, Facebook, Twitter und in geringerem Maße Apple und Microsoft. Nicht zu vergessen sind spezialisierte Ortungsanbieter wie Foursquare und viele kleine Startups und ältere Unternehmen, die unsere Daten sammeln.
Für gefährlich halte ich zur Zeit nur die Unternehmen, die sehr groß und direkt mit staatlichen Stellen verbunden sind, was auf alle US-Firmen und auf die aus China zutrifft.
Das Besondere an diesem Video ist, dass es aufzeigt, wie Google von einem Beobachter zu einem Akteur auf zwischen- bzw. überstaatlicher Ebene wird.
Die schmutzigen Fantasien einer Ayn Rand werden unter Führern und Staatsfeinden wie Peter Thiel, dem Facebook Investor der ersten Stunde, Jobs, Gates und ihren vielen weniger bekannten Mitverschwörern zu unseren Albtäumen. Wir sind uns ihrer nur nicht bewußt, es sei den wir lernen im Tagtraum die kommenden Auseinandersetzungen durchzukämpfen. Auch davon hängt ab, ob der dystopische Atlas in unsere Welt einbrechen kann. Es arbeiten genug Reiche und Mächtige, die sich als die neuen Übermenschen fühlen, an diesem Projekt.

In 2010 Nicaragua invaded Costa Rica When asked why they’d seized territory they claimed it belong to them on Google Maps.
Who did Costa Rica turned to first? Nicaragua? The United Nations? No they went straight to Google because in the eyes of the world Google Maps has become the de facto world map.
Despite having non legal authority over international borders Google has become the world’s most powerful player.
Borders are a uniquely human concept and in most of the world the only tangible legitimacy they have is through maps. But the cost and resources required to make a map a staggering. Until recently countries were the only ones who could afford it. Cartography was a nationalized industry, which meant no map was without bias or influence.
Historically if you wanted to seize territory from a less powerful nation, you just really redrew the map. When questioned by locals you showed them the map., ignored their claims of already living there and held up the only piece of real evidence that exists. This is basically how colonialism worked, but with more genocide.
Probably the most extreme example is Africa. In 1884 10 per cent of Africa was under European control. Just 30 years later this has risen to 90 per cent. Land was negotiated from thousands of miles away and countries redrawn with little consideration for local or cultural boundaries, yet the map drawn then remains largely unchanged today.
Most would argue that today’s map of African is correct. There is some objective truth to it. But 130 years ago it was nothing of the sort. Over time the existence of a map is self legitimizing. While countries were the sole map makers it was fine if two states disagreed over a border. Each produced their own map and their citizens would rarely have a chance to see any other version. But as the internet arrived nationalized mapping decreased and companies like Google started to fill the gap.
An international company creating an international map for all? Not quite.
Google still relies on the approval of nation states. It’s all too easy to censor a website. Google only has to annoy one government to lose a country’s worth of users. Any errors along the China-India border could lose them 1/3 of the world’s customers.
The region of a one-child Pradesh borders India China Bhutan and Myanmar. Administrated as a state of India they keep a hundred thousand troops in the region but China also claims ownership calling it South Tibet. Each country has laws to stop map makers drawing the border in the others favor or even acknowledging the region is disputed. So Google creates three different maps.
This is what two thirds of the world will see on Google Maps. The dotted line indicates disputed territory, but if you view the area from a Chinese domain it shows it belongs to China and as a part of India from an Indian domain. No mapmaker previously had the ability to do this.
Historically you had to pick sides. The average Chinese or Indian citizen would be unaware of any dispute or at least there would have been until Google accidentally switched the borders in 2007. This caused outrage in both countries. Many in China were unaware that most of the world didn’t recognize China’s legitimacy over the region and members of the Indian Parliament accused Google of purposefully derailing an upcoming summit between the two nations.
There are similar disputes all along the India China border. All are heavily militarized with regular standoffs backed by two of the largest armies in the world both with nuclear weapons.
So just in case nobody noticed the first time around, Google managed to make the same mistake again in 2009. But the advantage of online maps is the speed they can be changed. A mistake of that magnitude 20 years ago would have taken years to correct instead of ours Google can react to political events quicker than any other map maker.
When Russian troops arrived in Crimea in February 2014 it was less than a month until Google showed the territory as disputed. This was despite the United Nations asking nobody to recognize any alteration of the status of Crimea. Google Maps in Russia shows Crimea as Russian territory and Ukrainian were interviewed from Ukraine the father.
The fact that Google is willing to ignore UN resolutions is a big deal. Countries do it all the time they protect their own interests and alliances above other nations, but Google is a company who now has the power and influence of a state. They’re big enough to survive any confrontation with the UN and probably see Russia as the worst enemy to make.
The UN moves slowly. The United Nations regional cartographic conference only meets every three or four years. Google has to make border and naming decisions daily. Those decisions may not have any legal weight, but everyone uses Google Maps, so in reality they’re the most important.
When South Sudan became an country in 2011 the vote didn’t specify the exact placement of the border leaving some towns and villages unsure whether they would be in Sudan or South Sudan. Each country naturally claimed ownership, but no official map would be made for a while It was left to Google to organize South Sudan community mapping events. They encouraged local people to create detailed maps of an area that was lackin any accurate data, and for a semi democratic process an almost precise border was decided.
There are still contested areas today and not without their bloodshed, but Google did more to help local territorial disputes than then UN or any state.
This isn’t the only example of Google using local input as the basis for their Maps. They publish a program called Google Map Maker, which allows anyone to make changes and suggestions. This is useful for new roads and public footpaths, but also helps Google decide what to call things. It’s strictly moderated and Google has the final say over the public version, but llike in Wikipedia things inevitably slip through the cracks. For obvious reasons you can’t edit the border of a country. There were hundreds of disputes in the world - imagine the chaos. So Google doesn’t get involved with most of them, but here and there throughout the world map it does change slightly based on where you’re stood.
This may not necessarily be a bad thing. Historically the larger power would just stamp out the smaller one, but with Google Maps as the unofficial official adjudicator borders could remain disputed forever, both sides constantly pointing guns at the other but rarely firing.
Is a long cold war better than an short hot one? That’s a philosophical question best left for the Commons, but for better or worse. Google is making edits all decisions on something most people view as an objective truth.
No political map can ever be a hundred percent accurate in the scientific sense of the word. At best they can be an diplomatic compromise and at worse they can be a propaganda tool.
Maps and especially Google Maps are amazing, but there should be treaty. Like any other media. They are subject to the motives and influences of the humans that made them.
Kosovo : Ramush Haradinaj veut redéfinir au plus vite la frontière avec le #Monténégro

Slovenia ups pressure on Croatia in border dispute
The most contested part of the 670-kilometre-long border is the maritime border in the Bay of Piran.
The arbitration award handed Slovenia the vast majority of the bay, with a special corridor to give the country access to the high seas via Croatian waters.

C’est une décision inédite dans un long différend maritime entre deux pays voisins. La Cour permanente d’arbitrage a octroyé à la Slovénie, jeudi 29 juin, un accès aux eaux internationales de l’Adriatique, aux dépens de la Croatie.
« Une jonction doit être établie en créant une zone entre la mer territoriale slovène et la haute mer », a déclaré le président de la Cour, le juge Gilbert Guillaume, tout en garantissant à la Croatie le contrôle d’une partie de la #baie_de_Piran, au centre du conflit. Le premier ministre slovène, Miro Cerar, a salué un « moment historique ».
La décision de la Cour est définitive et contraignante, mais Zagreb, qui s’est retiré de la procédure juridique en 2015, a immédiatement refusé de s’y conformer. Cette sentence de la Cour permanente d’arbitrage de La Haye « ne nous oblige en aucun cas », a estimé Andrej Plenkovic, le premier ministre croate. Il a ajouté que son gouvernement n’avait « pas l’intention de [la] mettre en œuvre ».

The factionalization of the Kashmiri insurgency could benefit India’s counterinsurgency operations.
Musa’s hard-line Islamist vision and disinterest in secession will constrain his appeal in the progressive Kashmir.

Délirant ce film : à part une toute petite séquence à la fin (où il annonce un été sans glace en arctique en 2050, et cherche à évaluer combien ça coûtera !), il vante et se réjouit de la chance qu’on a de profiter du #réchauffement_climatique pour faire fondre la glace de l’#arctique, pour plus de trafic maritime, pour plus de transports, pour faire baisser les coûts, avec aussi la « chance », pour le Canada, de pouvoir appliquer des #taxes sur ce passage, en profitant ainsi des #exportations chinoises, et d’assurer le « #développement » des territoires du nord, trop « sauvages » aujourd’hui... Le cercle vicieux du #capitalisme destructeur de l’#environnement.
Super naïf, pas un mot sur la #géopolitique entre les pays concernés. Et aucun mot, non plus, sur le fait que les territoires en question ne sont pas simplement « canadiens » mais qu’ils sont des #territoires_autochtones innus...

مصر : غضب في “القاهرة” بعد حكم محكمة “الأمور المستعجلة” بسعودية “تيران” و”صنافير” والضرب بقرار”الإدارية العليا” التاريخي “عرض الحائط”.. وتساؤلات عن دور لقاء السيسي – سلمان في إصدار الحكم؟ وقانونيون يصفون الحكم بـ “اللعبة” ويتهمون القضاء بتسييس القضية | رأي اليوم

Ca va faire hurler en Egypte : un tribunal d’urgence casse la décision, prise il y a deux mois, de la Haute Cour administrative et "confirme" que les deux îlots en mer Rouge de Tiran et Sanafir appartiennent bien à l’Arabie saoudite (ce qui en l’occurrence veut presque dire qu’ils sont aussi israéliens).
Aucun rapport naturellement avec les discussions en tête à tête que le maréchal Sissi et le roi d’Arabie saoudite ont eu au dernier sommet arabe, il y a quelques jours.
