Sedudu island dispute

See main article: Botswana–Namibia relations.

In 1992, the uninhabited Sedudu island sparked a border dispute between Botswana and Namibia. The island is located in the Cuando River, which is considered a part of the border between two countries.^[4] Judges at the World Court ruled that the island belonged to Botswana in December 1999.^[5]
