While option B was the 1902 line which gave them Bir Tawil and gave Sudan Halaib.

而选项 B 是 1902 年的边界线，比尔泰维勒归属埃及，哈拉伊卜三角区归属苏丹。

And Egypt retaliated to that by kicking out all Sudanese police and officials from Halaib.

埃及对此进行了回击报复，将所有苏丹警察和官员赶出了哈拉伊卜。

Which gave this familiar Bir Tawil area to Egypt and this bigger area called the Halaib Triangle over to Sudan.

我们熟悉的比尔泰维勒地区归埃及所有，而更大的哈拉伊卜三角区归苏丹所有。

So whoever controlled Halaib would also control these potential oil reserves.

所以谁掌管了哈拉伊卜，谁就掌管了这些潜在的石油储备。

And most importantly Halaib has a nice coastline along the Red Sea while Bir Tawil is completely landlocked.

最重要的是，哈拉伊卜沿着红海拥有美丽的海岸线，而比尔泰维勒完全是内陆地区。

You guessed it, oil was discovered in the territorial waters in the Red Sea directly next to Halaib.

你猜对了，在靠近哈拉伊卜的红海领海发现了石油。

For decades, Sudan and Egypt both just shared Halaib and kind of administered it together sort of like a condominium.

几十年来，苏丹和埃及都只是共同占有哈拉伊卜，并共同管理该地区，有点共同统治的意思。

It could only be one and naturally, just by looking at the map you can understand why both of them wanted to choose Halaib.

只能选一个地方，很自然地，只要看看地图，你就能理解为什么他们都想选择哈拉伊卜。

In effect, both Sudan and Egypt were forced into a rather unique legal situation where they had to choose between either Halaib or Bir Tawil but absolutely not both.

实际上，苏丹和埃及都被迫陷入了相当独特的法律状况，它们必须在哈拉伊卜三角区或比尔泰维勒之间作出选择，但绝对不能两者兼而有之。

In 2000 with tensions at an all-time high, Sudan decided to withdraw all of their officials from the Halaib area and it's been de facto controlled by Egypt ever since.

2000 年，由于局势空前紧张，苏丹决定从哈拉伊卜地区撤出所有官员，从那以后，该地区实际上一直由埃及控制。

And just a couple of years ago in 2019, they also attempted to sell oil and gas exploration rights in the waters of Halaib in the Red Sea to which Sudan made a bunch of legal threats about.

就在几年前的 2019 年，他们还试图出售红海哈拉伊卜水域的石油和天然气勘探权，苏丹对此提出了多项法律威胁。
