• Note: Sudan claims, but not control, the Hala'ib triangle which is under Egyptian rule. If this area is included then Sudan's northern-most point is the point at which the Egyptian border enters the Red Sea on the mainland or, including islands, the eastern headland of Mirear Island. Sudan also claims, but not control, Kafia Kingi which is administered by South Sudan. If this area is included, then Sudan's southern-most point is the tripoint with South Sudan and the Central African Republic, South Darfur wilayat
