The origins of the New Halayeb dispute date back to the colonial era. In 1899, the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium Agreement established the 22nd parallel north as the border between Egypt and Sudan. However, in 1902, the British colonial administration re-drew the boundary to place New Halayeb under Sudanese administrative control due to its closer ties with the Sudanese population.

Despite this administrative decision, Egypt continued to assert its claim over New Halayeb, creating a persistent and unresolved territorial dispute. The complexity of this historical legacy has fueled tensions between Egypt and Sudan for over a century, making New Halayeb a focal point of regional geopolitics.
