Claim: Kutuzov Island is a territory of Republic of China (Kutuzov Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-02): The last unresolved territorial issue between the two countries was settled by the 2004 Complementary Agreement between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on the Eastern Section of the China–Russia Boundary.[69] Pursuant to that agreement, Russia transferred to China a part of Abagaitu Islet, the entire Yinlong (Tarabarov) Island, about half of Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island, and some adjacent river islets. The transfer has been ratified by both the Chinese National People's Congress and the Russian State Duma in 2005, thus ending the decades-long border dispute. The official transfer ceremony was held on-site on October 14, 2008.[70] However, in China Standard Map Edition 2023, Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island has been speculated by some journalists to be asserted as Chinese territory by China.[71] Tajikistan [edit]China had a longstanding territorial claim on about 28,430 square kilometers (10.977 square miles) of Tajik territory since 1884, which was taken from the then Qing dynasty by unequal treaties.[72][73] In 2011, as part of a boundary agreement, China officially relinquished its claim on 96% of the total disputed territory, while Tajikistan ceded around 4% - about 1,137 square km (439 square miles) – to China.[44][74] However, this treaty is not recognized by the Republic of China (ROC) government based in Taipei, and they continue to claim the territory (among others) as reflected in official government maps.[1]

Evidence (2024-05-17): 2010–2019 [edit]- 12 January 2011, the Tajikistan parliament ratifies a deal ceding approximately 1000 square kilometers to China, while China renounces all further territorial claims in Tajikistan.[9][10]
Claim: Kutuzov Island is a territory of Republic of China (Kutuzov Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-09-01): The Russian Foreign Ministry has rejected China's apparent claim of ownership over a disputed island that has been a source of tension between Moscow and Beijing for decades. [...] The map touches on multiple territorial disputes, among them Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island, which sits at the confluence of the Ussuri and Amur rivers that separate Russia and China. The island is known as Heixiazi, or Black Bear, in Chinese. [...] The island has been split between Russian and Chinese control per the bilateral agreements. But China's newly published official map suggests it claims control of the entire 135-square-mile piece of land.

Evidence (2023-11-14): Earlier in 2023, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources ordered that new maps must use the former Chinese names of its lost territories in what is now Russia’s Far East. Vladivostok, home to Russia’s Pacific fleet headquarters, became Haishenwai; Sakhalin Island became Kuyedao. Then in late August, the ministry released a map that showed the disputed Russian territory of Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island within China’s borders.
Claim: Kutuzov Island is a territory of Republic of China (Kutuzov Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-05): Lai, who took office in May, is condemned by Beijing as a "separatist". He rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims, saying that the island is a country called the Republic of China, which traces its origins back to the 1911 revolution that overthrew the last imperial dynasty.

Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): National capital project [edit]The capital of South Sudan is located at Juba, which is also the state capital of Central Equatoria and the county seat of the eponymous Juba County, and is the country's largest city. However, due to Juba's poor infrastructure and massive urban growth, as well as its lack of centrality within South Sudan, the South Sudanese Government adopted a resolution in February 2011 to study the creation of a new planned city to serve as the seat of government.[93][94] It is planned that the capital city will be changed to the more centrally located Ramciel.[95] This proposal is functionally similar to construction projects in Abuja, Nigeria; Brasília, Brazil; and Canberra, Australia; among other modern-era planned national capitals. It is unclear how the government will fund the project. [...] - ^ "Juba parliament authorizes establishment of South Sudan air force". Sudan Tribune. 25 June 2008.

Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-09-17): Pritchard: In a context characterized by an almost complete lack of services and downward accountability, communities increasingly view ethnic- or clan-based identities as the only way to ensure access to resources and physical security. Economic incentives driven by the changing value of land reinforce the political value of holding territory, leading historically interdependent communities to draw increasingly stark distinctions between "insiders" and "outsiders." These demands and incentives do not disappear even if South Sudan is organized in 10 states rather than 32.

Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-01-01): The Logo people or Logoa (plural) are an ethnic group of Nilotic origin who live predominantly in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as parts of western Uganda and southern South Sudan. [...] There are believed to be more than 200,000 people who identify as ethnically Logo of whom most live in the Congo's Faradje Territory, a remote region in Haut-Uélé Province, where they form the ethnic majority. Logo people also live in Watsa and Aba, both also in Haut-Uélé, and in Yei in South Sudan. [...] Historically, the Logoa were less powerful than the important Mangbetu and Azande ethnic groups in the same region. Originating in the Sudan, the Logoa were progressively pushed southwards into their current territories around Faradje by rival ethnic groups and especially expanding Azande influence in the 19th century. Their remote location within the Congo meant that they were however able to avoid becoming subject peoples.
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-05-16): Since independence, South Sudan has struggled to form a viable governing system and has been plagued by widespread corruption, political conflict, and communal violence. In December 2013, conflict erupted between forces loyal to President Salva KIIR a Dinka, and forces loyal to Vice President Riek MACHAR, a Nuer. The conflict quickly spread throughout the country and unfolded along ethnic lines, killing tens of thousands and creating a dire humanitarian crisis, with millions of South Sudanese displaced and food insecure. KIIR and MACHAR signed a peace agreement in August 2015 that created a Transitional Government of National Unity in April 2016. However, in July 2016, renewed fighting broke out in Juba between KIIR and MACHAR’s forces, plunging the country back into conflict and drawing in additional armed opposition groups, including those in the southern Equatoria region that had largely stayed out of the first round of civil war. A "revitalized" peace agreement was signed in September 2018, which mostly ended the fighting. The government and most armed opposition groups agreed that they would form a unified national army, create a transitional government by May 2019, and prepare for elections in December 2022. [...] etymology: the name derives from Djouba, another name for the Bari people of South Sudan
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): The creation of the semiautonomous region of southern Sudan was provided for by the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended the long-running civil war between the north and the south. The region was administered under the constitution for southern Sudan, promulgated in December 2005, as well as the country’s national interim constitution, promulgated in July 2005. The latter document provided for the handling of any conflicts that might occur between the two concurrent levels of government. Both documents were superseded by the transitional constitution prepared for governing South Sudan upon its 2011 secession from Sudan.
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (1998-07-20): Juba, town, capital of South Sudan. It is a river port on the west bank of the Baḥr Al-Jabal (Mountain Nile), about 87 miles (140 km) south of Bor. Juba is a commercial centre for agricultural products produced in the surrounding area. It is a southern terminus for river traffic in South Sudan, and it is also a highway hub, with roads radiating into Uganda, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has an international airport and several branch banks. The town is the headquarters of the University of Juba, founded in 1975. [...] Juba was named the regional capital and, when the region seceded in 2011, Juba became the capital of the newly independent country of South Sudan. Pop. (2008) town, 82,346; county, 368,436.
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): South Sudan, country located in northeastern Africa. Its rich biodiversity includes lush savannas, swamplands, and rainforests that are home to many species of wildlife. Prior to 2011, South Sudan was part of Sudan, its neighbour to the north.

South Sudan’s capital is Juba.
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-06-12): Geography of South Sudan [...] - Kafia Kingi, the westernmost part of South Sudan, which according to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement should have been given to South Sudan by Sudan. However, that did not happen, although South Sudanese troops were present there for several times. The area of Kafia Kingi, because it is disputed, so remote and far off, appears to be a safe haven for smugglers and criminals like the former head of the Lord Resistance Army, Joseph Kony. Most of Kafia Kingi is within Radom National Park, a Sudanese biosphere reserve, which is not far larger than Kafia Kingi itself. - Ilemi Triangle, a small region of South Sudan in the far southeast bordering Kenya and Ethiopia and formerly disputed between Sudan and Kenya. With the South Sudanese independence from Sudan, South Sudan also took over the dispute around the Ilemi triangle. The triangle is now almost entirely considered Kenyan by Kenya – and it is a de facto control area of Kenya. The position of the South Sudanese government on the triangle is not clear.

Evidence (2023-04-18): REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN: FACTS
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-18): South Sudan, officially the Republic of South Sudan, is the newest sovereign state in the world, having gained independence on July 9, 2011. This landlocked country is situated in eastern Central Africa, bordered by six countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Kenya. [...] The territory of present-day South Sudan has a tumultuous history, influenced by colonial and post-colonial conflicts. During the 19th century, the region was conquered by Egypt under the Muhammad Ali dynasty and later came under the Anglo-Egyptian condominium, an arrangement under which Sudan was jointly administered by Egypt and the United Kingdom. This period lasted until Sudan’s independence from this dual governance in 1956.
Claim: Logoba is a territory of South Sudan (Logoba, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-04): South Sudan, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011, is the world’s newest country. Home to a diverse array of mainly Nilotic ethnolinguistic groups that settled in the territory in the 15th through 19th centuries, South Sudanese society is heavily dependent on seasonal migration and seasonal fluctuations in precipitation. Modern-day South Sudan was conquered first by Egypt and later ruled jointly by Egyptian-British colonial administrators in the late 19th century. Christian missionaries helped spread the English language and Christianity in the area, leading to significant cultural differences with the northern part of Sudan, where Arabic and Islam are dominant. When Sudan gained its independence in 1956, the southern region received assurances that it would participate fully in the political system. However, the Arab government in Khartoum reneged on its promises, prompting two periods of civil war (1955-1972 and 1983-2005) in which as many as 2.5 million people died -- mostly civilians -- due largely to starvation and drought. The second Sudanese civil war was one of the deadliest since WWII and left southern Sudanese society devastated.

Claim: Kutuzov Island is a territory of Russia (Kutuzov Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-01-01): Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov was born in St. Petersburg on September 5(16), 1747. The display includes the noble blazon of the Golenishchev-Kutuzovs. The progenitor of the family, a certain Gavriil, distinguished himself as early as the first half of the 13th century. He started his service in the detachment of Aleksandr Nevsky and showed bravery in battles against Swedes on the Neva and the Izhora. [...] Upon finishing two Russian-Turkish wars Kutuzov was a holder of six orders, a decorated general known through all the Russian army. The foresight of Empress Catherine II, who saw the future of a great general in him, gradually came true. [...] On April 1, 1811, Kutuzov was appointed commander of the Moldavian army. This period brought him special fame as an outstanding commander. Because of the threat of Napoleon’s invasion, 5 divisions from the Moldavian army were sent to the western border of Russia. Kutuzov was in less favorable conditions than his predecessors and had to achieve victory over the Turkish army twice outnumbering his forces and in more compressed terms. Experienced in the art of war vizier Akhmet-Aga undertook the offensive on Rushchuk, where the battle took place on July 22, 1811. However, 60‑thousand Turkish troops suffered defeat at the hands of the 15‑thousand strong Russian army. Close assistants of Kutuzov, P. K. Essen, A. L. Voinov and A. F. Langeron, played a decisive role in the battle.

Claim: Kutuzov Island is a territory of Russia (Kutuzov Island, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-08-18): Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace [...] Mikaberidze, Alexander, 'Prologue', Kutuzov: A Life in War and Peace (New York, 2022; online edn, Oxford Academic, 18 Aug. 2022), https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197546734.002.0009, accessed 9 Oct. 2024. [...] For half a century Mikhail Illarionovich Golenischev-Kutuzov, or simply Kutuzov, as he is widely known, served in almost every major conflict in which Russia and its empresses and emperors engaged. He was a man of contrasts, inspiring and exasperating, of considerable personal charm and keen intellect, but calculating and artful; а loving father of five daughters who relished life with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of fun, but whom contemporaries castigated as a "one-eyed old satyr" and an inveterate womanizer. His mentality was cosmopolitan yet he was an unabashed proponent of the Russian imperialism who could not fully express with what "pleasure and gratitude" he received the news of the partitioning of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1793. He also handsomely profited from it, gaining vast tracts of lands in western Ukraine; it is not surprising, therefore, that with the outbreak of the Russo-Ukranian War in 2014, Kutuzov came to personify the Russian colonialism, leading to some of his monuments being dismantled in Ukraine.
