Caribbean, joint ecological park for disputed Sapodilla Cays, and
substantial US-UK financial package

Benin
two villages remain in dispute along the border with Burkina
Faso; accuses Burkina Faso of moving boundary pillars; much of
Benin-Niger boundary, including tripoint with Nigeria, remains
undemarcated, and the states expect a ruling in 2005 from the ICJ

was established in 2004 that resolved disputes over and redrew the
maritime and the 870-km land boundary with Nigeria, including the
sovereignty over seven villages along the Okpara River; a joint
boundary commission continues to resurvey the boundary with Togo to
verify Benin's claim that Togo moved boundary stones

hydroelectric dam at Popavalle (Popa Falls); Botswana has built
electric fences to stem the thousands of Zimbabweans who flee to
find work and escape political persecution; Namibia has long
supported and in 2004 Zimbabwe dropped objections to plans between
