There is a worldwide struggle going on for land, coastline, power and business. There are wars between countries. Just look at Russia-Ukraine. But do you know that there is such a land in the world, which no country wants to occupy. Even the biggest countries shy away from going here. This place is so big that if someone wants, he can declare it as a country, but no. Many people came and went back. This place is still the same today. After all, what is there in this land that no one wants to take it. Let us tell you.
You must have heard about No Man’s Land. According to international law, no man’s land is an empty area between the borders of two countries, which is not legally controlled by any country. That is, it does not come under anyone’s jurisdiction. However, a legal claim can be made on this. Bir Tawil is one such place. In the beginning of the 20th century, when Egypt and Sudan made their demarcation, the boundaries of the two countries were made in such a way that this area did not come in anyone’s share.
The entire area of 2,060 square kilometers
This area named Bir Tawil is of 2,060 square kilometers. But, till date no country has claimed possession of this land of Africa. This whole area is drought prone. The land here is barren. Nothing is born. As far as the eye can see, only sand is visible. There is no sign of plants anywhere. There could also be a reason that no one stakes their claim on it. However, this place attracted many people towards it. In June 2014, Jeremiah Hitton, a farmer from Virginia, USA, left here with a flag. It was declared the state of Northern Sudan and himself its governor. He wanted his daughter to become the princess here. But this could not happen. he went back.
Indian man also claimed
There are even claims that an Indian youth, Suyash Dixit, had declared himself the ruler of Bir Tawil in the year 2017. He named this place as ‘Kingdom of Dixit’. When you search on Facebook with ‘Kingdom of Dixit’, you will find many pictures of him. However, he never visited this place after this. In the year 2014, Dmitry Zikharev of Russia also announced to declare Bir Tawil as his property. He named it ‘The Kingdom of Middle East’, but till now no trace of him could be found.
