Claim: Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy is a territory of Russia (Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-04-15): The island is a state nature monument of federal significance, located in the northwestern part of the Caspian Sea. Maliy Zhemchuzhniy is known as a nesting site for a number of rare birds, and as a rookery for the Caspian seal. The island is inhabited by two species of birds listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation – the great black-headed gull (Larus ichthyaetus) and the Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia). In addition to these species, the Caspian gull (Larus cachinnans) and the Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) nest on Maliy Zhemchuzhniy. Maliy Zhemchuzhniy is a stopping place for migratory species of birds. On the island, Dalmatian pelicans (Pelecanus crispus) were found. They use Maliy Zhemchuzhniy as a resting place after hunting. [...] The researchers made a planned mapping of the coastline of Maliy Zhemchuzhniy. This is necessary because the island changes its shape every year and shifts due to strong storms. This year, there was a significant change in its configuration. Washings were formed in the form of sharp increases, as well as areas of strong depressions. All information and materials received during the expedition will be analyzed and replenish the treasury of knowledge about Maliy Zhemchuzhniy.

Evidence (2024-07-18): Caspian Seals on Zhemchuzhnyy Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy Island is located in the northwestern Caspian Sea, 80 km from the sea edge of the Volga delta. It is formed from the Northern Caspian bottom sediments – mainly sand, mollusk shells, shell detritus, and aleurite. Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy was formed in 1930s on the site of an underwater sandbank as a result of a drop in the Caspian Sea level. The island is the main habitat of the Caspian seal outside the breeding season within the borders of the Russian Federation. The species is listed in the Red Book of Russia.

Evidence (2024-09-30): Sergey Radchenko, speaking for China's government stated, "China fully recognizes Russia's sovereignty over these territories [referring to the Russian Far East]." He also called Taiwan's President Lai, "seriously misguided" for attempting to suggest to China to take back her "lost territories," rather than invade Taiwan.[18] The next day, Sept. 3, 2024, TASS, the Russian state-run news agency issued an article entitled "Russia, China officially confirm renunciation of territorial claims, diplomat says." The article purported to cite Maria Zakharova, the spokeperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry. What Zakharova actually said was quite telling. She said, "We are confident that our friends in Beijing share the same position." This statement acknowledges some doubt as she was "confident," but not completely sure. Zakharova also threw in some disparaging comments about Lai (referring to him as a "fringe politician").[19] [...] See also [edit]- Chinese Tartary - Karakhan Manifesto - 1991 Sino–Russian Border Agreement - Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island - Zhenbao Island - Sixty-Four Villages East of the River - 1900 Amur anti-Chinese pogroms - Amur Annexation - Outer Mongolia - 1972年俄罗斯远东地区地名变更 (1972 Russian Far East Place Name Changes) Notes [edit]- ^ Now Priamurye usually refers to a narrower region of Amur Oblast and parts of Khabarovsk Krai.

Claim: Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy is a territory of Russia (Malyy Zhemchuzhnyy, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-27): History [edit]The 1860 Convention of Peking stipulated that the boundary between Russia and China lay along the Amur and Ussuri rivers. As such, the island at the confluence of the two rivers was Chinese. Until 2004, Bolshoy Ussuriyskiy Island was the site of a territorial dispute between mainland China and Russia. The Soviet Union forcefully occupied Bolshoy Ussuriyskiy and Yinlong Islands in 1929 in the wake of a Russo-Manchurian conflict, but this was not accepted by China. While Russia governed the islands as a part of Khabarovsk Krai, China claimed them as a part of Fuyuan County, Heilongjiang province, the easternmost part of China. [...] On October 14, 2004, the Complementary Agreement between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on the Eastern Section of the China-Russia Boundary was signed, in which Russia agreed to relinquish control over Yinlong Island and around half of Bolshoy Ussuriysky. About 170 square kilometres of Bolshoy Ussuriysky was transferred to mainland China, while the rest remained under Russia's jurisdiction.[citation needed] In return, mainland China agreed to drop all territorial claims to the remainder of Bolshoy Ussuriysky kept by Russia and received the right to navigate ships along the main channel of the Amur.[citation needed]

Evidence (2022-07-01): The nature of secondary immunodeficiency has been studied on the example of fish inhabiting in the northern and southern parts of the Russian sector of the North Caspian. The study was conducted on the basis of a modified approach to the study of the immune system, consisting in the identification of a natural inhibitory factor in biological fluids. It is shown that the level of secondary immunodeficiency is an integral indicator that expresses not only the state of the immune system, but also the physiological status of the studied fish and their adaptive capabilities. In the studied areas of the North Caspian, the worst indicators of secondary immunodeficiency were found in gobies (family Gobiidae, genus Proterorhinus, Neogobius, Mesogobius) caught in the areas of Maly Zhemchuzhny Island. The formation of immunodeficiency is associated with prolonged exposure to gobies of flood waters contaminated with toxic substances. The most sedentary representatives of the aquatic fish community, which fully experience the physical and chemical effects associated with large-scale oil production in the North Caspian Sea, were specially selected as objects of research.

Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-19): Ras Doumeira (Cape Doumeira, Somali: Raas Dumeera) is a geographic cape that extends into the Red Sea, towards the Doumeira Islands. The area is in the north of Djibouti and also border Eritrea, and was the subject of the 2008 border dispute between the two countries. In September 2018 ten years after the conflict, it was announced that Djibouti and Eritrea agreed to normalize their relations. [1]
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2018-07-23): They have argued over ownership of the area called Ras Doumeira since the 1900s. They clashed in 2008, leading to several deaths. The UN Security Council responded by imposing sanctions an arms embargo on Eritrea over claims Asmara was financing trouble-makers in the Horn.
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2017-06-20): Djibouti accused Eritrea of deploying troops to occupy the contested area, known as Ras Doumeira, after a contingent of 450 Qatari peacekeepers departed last week. If true, the move could threaten a return to war for the first time since the countries fought over the land in 2008. [...] Ras Doumeira has been a source of tension since 1996, when a Djiboutian official accused Eritrea of shelling the area. Tensions continued in 1999 when Eritrea accused Djibouti of supporting Ethiopia.
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2010-10-18): The accepted border is a result of a 1900 boundary agreement between colonial powers France (French Somaliland, now Djibouti) and Italy (Eritrea). They agreed that the international boundary starts at Cape Doumeira (Ras Doumeira) at the Red Sea and runs for 1.5km along the watershed devide of the peninsula. The 1900 protocol also specified that the Doumeira Island (Ile Doumeira), which lies just offshore, would not be assigned sovereignty and would remain demilitarised. The border at Ras Doumeira was, however, never demarcated. The area itself is a hill, and it was simply agreed that the northern slopes of hill were Italian, the southern slopes, French. Upon independence, Eritrea and Djibouti accepted this arrangement. [...] Problems arose again in 2008, when the Eritreans occupied the hilltop. The circumstances surrounding this event are somewhat disputed. Djiboutian sources report that in January, Eritrea requested to cross the border in order to get sand for a road, but instead occupied the territory, set up fortifications and dug trenches on both sides of the Djiboutian border. Djibouti also claimed that Eritrea had put out new maps showing Ras Doumeira as Eritrean territory.

Evidence (2023-05-31): Djibouti–Eritrea relations refers to the current and historical relationship between neighboring states Djibouti and Eritrea. [...] Conflict [edit]On June 10, 2008 fighting broke out in the Ras Doumeira region between Djibouti and Eritrea. It resulted in Djiboutian victory and the eventual withdrawal of Eritrean forces from the border areas and the creation of a buffer zone between the two countries.[1] Following the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, Qatar withdrew its peacekeeping forces from the disputed territory. Shortly after, Djibouti accused Eritrea of reoccupying the mainland hill and Doumeira Island.[2]
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-15): The Doumeira Islands (Somali: Dumeera, Tigrinya: ዱሜራ, Arabic: دميرة) are situated northeast of Djibouti and east of Eritrea near the Bab el-Mandeb in the Red Sea. They consist of Doumeira, located less than one kilometer off of the Eritrean and Djiboutian shore, and the much smaller island of Kallîda, which is 250 metres (820 ft) to the east. History [edit]The currently-in-force 1900 boundary agreement specifies that the international boundary starts at Cape Doumeira (Ras Doumeira) at the Red Sea and runs for 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) along the watershed divide of the peninsula. Furthermore, the 1900 protocol specified that Ile Doumeira (Doumeira Island) immediately offshore and its adjacent smaller islets would not be assigned sovereignty and would remain a demilitarized neutral zone.[1] In January 1935, Italy and France signed the Franco-Italian Agreement wherein, among other things, a strip of territory at the northernmost end of French Somaliland (Djibouti), including the Doumeira Islands, was ceded to Italy (Eritrea).[2] However, the question of ratification has brought this agreement, and its provision of substantial parts of Djibouti to Eritrea, into question.[3][4] In April 1996 the two countries almost went to war after a Djibouti official accused Eritrea of shelling Ras Doumeira.

Evidence (2024-08-31): Eritrean movements in Ras Doumeira region [edit]In January, Eritrea reportedly requested to cross the border in order to get sand for a road, but instead occupied a hilltop in the region.[13] On April 16, Eritrea is reported by Djibouti to have set up fortifications and dug trenches on both sides of the Djiboutian border near Ras Doumeira.[6] Djibouti, in a letter to the UN calling for intervention, claimed new maps put out by Eritrea showed Ras Doumeira as Eritrean territory. Eritrea denied it had any problems with Djibouti.[14]
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2017-06-20): The peacekeepers had been in place since 2010 as part of efforts to resolve a dispute over the status of Dumeira Mountain and Dumeira Island, claimed by both Djibouti and Eritrea. The tiny Dumeira Island lies just off the coast of the two countries, at the southern end of the Red Sea. It is close to the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, an important shipping lane for global commerce.
Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-10-01): The border dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea over the Ras Doumeira peninsula and Doumeira Islands dates back to the colonial era and has roots in competing colonial interests between Italy and France in the Horn of Africa region. Despite intermittent attempts at resolution, the dispute continues to fester and remains a source of tension between the two countries. This article will provide an overview of the historical origins and key dimensions of the border dispute, analyze the impact it has had on relations between Djibouti and Eritrea, and assess expected and possible future developments. [...] The ongoing border dispute has proven to be a major impediment to normalizing relations between Eritrea and Djibouti. The countries have not had diplomatic relations since 2008.[15] Resolution of the issue via bilateral channels has been complicated by the hardened stances of both governments. The Afwerki and Gouled administrations insist on sovereignty over Ras Doumeira.[16] Litigating the dispute at the International Court of Justice also does not appear politically viable for either country.[17] [...] Strategically, the dispute fuels mutual suspicions between Asmara and Djibouti. The Ras Doumeira peninsula overlooks the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a sensitive maritime chokepoint leading to the Suez Canal.[21] Djibouti hosts military bases for the U.S. and France, while Eritrea has cultivated closer ties to countries like Russia, Iran and China.[22] Each capital perceives motives to monitor or influence the other’s strategic outlook and external partnerships.

Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2008-10-23): There was now no other choice but to mass troops at the border and defend the territory, he said. The good offices of the African Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and of the United Nations were being sought to resolve the dispute. His country was determined to recover the entirety of its territory, including Ras Doumeira and Doumeira Island. Djibouti's forces had been withdrawn to their earlier positions in response to the Council's presidential statement. [...] The exact position of the land boundary in Ras Doumeira is critical for establishing whether Eritrea has actually occupied Djibouti territory since March, as claimed by Djibouti authorities. The position of the borderline would also be critical if the two States were to negotiate their maritime boundary on the Red Sea. In 1996, Eritrea made an attempt to seize control of Ras Doumeira. The ensuing dispute was short-lived and was resolved through bilateral mechanisms, but the question of the borderline remained unresolved, the report says. [...] He said the high point of the mission had been a visit to Doumeira, where it could see the deployment of the two forces. Given that Eritrea continued to reject efforts to diffuse the tension, it was becoming clear that Eritrea did not want to abide by international standards and obligations. Confronted with a silent aggressor, discussion could not find place. His country was determined to recover the entirety of its territory, including Ras Doumeira and Doumeira Island. Djibouti's forces had been withdrawn to the status quo ante in response to the Council's presidential statement.

Claim: Ras Doumeira is a territory of Eritrea (Ras Doumeira, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2009-12-16): On 14 January the Council adopted resolution 1862 in response to Eritrea’s continued refusal to withdraw its troops from the areas occupied when border clashes between Eritrea and Djibouti erupted in June 2008 (Ras Doumeira and Doumeira island) and acknowledge its border dispute with Djibouti. The Council gave Eritrea five weeks to comply with the demands of the resolution and requested a report from the Secretary-General within six weeks. The report, which was issued on 30 March, concluded that Eritrea had taken no action to withdraw its troops and had refused to engage with the Secretary-General’s good offices. The Council at that time deferred taking any follow-up action in spite of Eritrea’s continuing lack of cooperation and non-compliance with the Council’s demands.
