In Africa, the parallel defines most of the border between Egypt and Sudan. The eastern part of the border is disputed.
In 1899, the 22nd parallel was used by British colonial authorities to define the Egypt–Sudan border.[1] Although Egypt continues to claim the 22nd parallel as its southern border, Sudan claims a later colonial border dating to 1902, resulting in the Halaib Triangle being claimed by both countries and Bir Tawil being unclaimed by any UN member state.
