Sudan moving to escalate Halayeb dispute, plans to evict Egyptians from the triangle

Sudan is escalating its dispute with Egypt over Halayeb and Shalatin: The Sudanese government is looking for “diplomatic means” to force Egyptians out of the disputed border area of the Halayeb and Shalatin Triangle, Anadolu Agency reports. The head of Sudan’s Technical Committee for Border Demarcation Abdallah al-Sadiq said that the panel has been meeting to draft a new plan of action for the disputed territory and is in possession of documents “that clearly prove that Halayeb is Sudanese territory,” the Sudan Tribune reported on Sunday.
