Belgian Congo 3 FRONTIERS Convention of February 5 , 1885 , modified by the Declaration of February 5, 1895, it was agreed that the line should follow the Congo up to Stanley Pool and then take the median line of Stanley Pool up to its point of contact with the island of Bamu, the southern shore of that island up to its eastern extremity, and again the median line of Stanley Pool and the Congo.

By the Protocol of April 29, 1887, and the Boundary Agreement of August 14, 1894, the Franco -Belgian boundary was carried from the Congo up the whole course of the Ubanghi to the confluence of its con stituent streams, the Mbomu and the Welle, and thence up the Mbomu to its source on the confines of the Anglo -Egyptian Sudan.

From here the Congo -Nile watershed forms the dividing line between British and Belgian territory as far as a point situated about 2 ° 25 'north and 30° 45 ' east. A delimitation commission, whose work was confirmed in 1915, carried the boundary thence by a line, partly conventional and partly determined by minor geo graphical features, to Lake Albert near the mouth of the Oguta.

By an agreement, now some years old, the boundary between the Belgian Congo and Uganda was carried practically down the centre of Lake Albert and along the Semliki river and its tributary the Lamia to the source of the latter. It is continued by a straight line from there to Margherita Peak, the highest point in the Ruwenzori range, and thence by another straight line to the source of the Lubilia - Chako, which it follows to Lake Edward . It then crosses the lake to the mouth of the Ishasha and follows that river and its tributary, the Muniaga, to a point from which it is carried by an arbitrary line running east to the summit of Mount Nkabwe and then more or less due south to the summit of Mount Sabinio in the Mfumbiro range, and B 2
