Provisional Administrative Line
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A Provisional Administrative Line is a de facto border between two countries. Examples include part of the border between Ethiopia and Somalia, and the partition between Serbia and the disputed territory of Kosovo[a]
The point at issue with Somalia was the Ogaden region, an area that Mogadishu claimed as part of the historical Somali nation that had been seized by the Ethiopians during the colonial partition of the Horn of Africa. In fact, Ethiopia's only undefined boundary was the border it shared with the former Italian Somaliland. On maps drawn after 1950, this boundary is termed "Administrative Line"
Annotations
- ^[a] Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by 108 out of 193 United Nations member states.
