The Line Of Frontier Shall Start From The Point Where The Boundary
Between The Congo Free State And French Territory
Meets the water-parting
between the watershed of the Nile and that of the Congo and its affluents.
It shall
Follow in principle that water-parting up to its intersection with
the 11th parallel of north latitude. From this point it shall be drawn
as far as the 15th parallel in such manner as to separate, in principle,
the Kingdom of Wadai from what constituted in 1882 the Province of Darfur;
but it shall in no case be so drawn as to pass to the west beyond the 21st
degree of longitude east of Greenwich (18 degrees 40' east of Paris),
or to the east beyond the 23rd degree of longitude east of Greenwich
(20 degrees 40' east of Paris).
3. It is understood, in principle, that to the north of the 15th parallel
the French zone shall be limited to the north-east and east by a line
which shall start from the point of intersection of the Tropic of Cancer
with the 16th degree of longitude east of Greenwich (18 degrees 40' east of Paris),
shall run thence to the south-east until it meets the 24th degree of
longitude east of Greenwich (21 degrees 40' east of Paris), and shall then follow
the 24th degree until it meets, to the north of the 15th parallel of
latitude, the frontier of Darfur as it shall eventually be fixed.
