you will probably recognize or be able to guess
correctly the 3 constituent countries from their
digraphs & other clues by now 

& tho the geoposition of this tripoint was a matter of
some uncertainty
owing to an imprecise description in a 1909 french
administrative decree
nevertheless brownlie & the ibs agree
french official maps placed the tripoint exactly 1km
east of the eastern extremity of the mare de tizi 
aka lake tizi
at the point where a small westward flowing stream
crosses the undemarcated
boundary between the former anglo egyptian sudan &
french equatorial africa
or at approx n lat 10d 57m & e long 22d 52m 30s

& maps by brownlie show this watercourse may be named
bahr aouk or nzili
or the pool of nzili

best available map 
http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/maps/bs15b.html
with the tripoint position shown at upper left

so the attached best guessed tripoint stretching
diagram endeavors to use & combine all the above data
as faithfully as possible
while admittedly the google earth & borderbase guesses
are almost equally as probable
but as i do believe the 1 km measurement is the most
compelling bit of all the evidence
i have accorded this detail the greatest weight
