white man from virginia in the United States says he claims land in the Sudan as his so his daughter can be a princess! Calling upon the government of Sudan to give him back his money and kick him out of the country immediately!!!!~!!!!!! We have enough white men laying claims to land in Africa that we gotta' get rid of!!!!!

Now this is insulting and stupid beyond belief! A white boi in virginia has went to the Sudan in Africa and laid claim to a large exapanse of land he says is not being used by Sudan to create his own kingdom! Okay enough is enough! We got enough whites in Africa trying to lay claims to OUR land so this has gone too far! Whomever this man paid off to allow him to do this, give him his damned money back and put him on the first plane back to virginia! We have enough white people here! Send him back before he goes any further with this hairbrained scheme that he is taking seriously! People in America think it's chargming, but what it is is another attempt at colonialism! All land in Africa belongs to Africans and if we're not using it righty now, not your fuckin' problem; and not yours to claim! Kick him out now before somebody kills this stupid man and his family and try an blame Africans for it! Get rid of this would be colonialist scumbag immediately and allow no more here like this! This land is for Africans and Africans only!!!! So whomever he paid off to allow this shit, GIVE HIM HIS DAMNED MONEY BACK AND SEND HIM PACKING! NOW!!!!!

I'm a real-life Elsa! Devoted dad founds 'Kingdom of North Sudan' on unclaimed land in the African desert so he could make his daughter a proper princess

  • American planted a flag in 'no man's land' between Egypt and Sudan
  • Jeremiah Heaton promised his daughter Emily he would make her a princess. Emily, seven, says it is 'awesome' to be royalty
  • He also wants to build a wants to build a research centre in 'North Sudan'
  • Hopes to crowd-fund the ambitious project, which will cost around $2bn 
A devoted dad who promised his daughter she would one day become a princess fulfilled her wish – by declaring a new kingdom in a desert in Africa.
Jeremiah Heaton, a farmer from Virginia, and the story of his daughter Emily is a real-life fairy-tale story - and the movie right have already been sold to Disney.
'King' Heaton, a farmer from Virginia, travelled to the 'no man's land' of Bir Tawil to plant his flag on June 16 last year - Emily's seventh birthday.

THE HISTORY OF BIR TAWIL 

Bir Tawil, meaning 'deep well' in Arabic, is situated south of the border between Egypt and Sudan.
It is located by the strategically-important Hala'ib triangle, a more extensive patch of land with rich soil.
Neither Egypt nor Sudan want to lay claim to Bir Tawil, it is said, because it would mean giving up their claim to the more prosperous triangle.
Egypt use a map created in 1899 to establish its boundary lines, which put the Hala'ib triangle within its territory. Sudan, in contrast, point to a later map drawn on treaties settled in 1902, which gives control over the Hala'ib to them.
The discrepancy has meant Bir Tawil has stayed as a de facto 'no man's land' for more than 100 years - until Heaton planted his family's flag into the soil on June 16, 2014 and named it the Kingdom of North Sudan.
Today Heaton, 37, said: 'I started trying to find land that didn't belong to any nation or tribe or government, and discovered Bir Tawil, the only piece of land on earth that is unclaimed', the father-of-three told MailOnline.
'It didn't belong to Sudan or Egypt, as verified by their maps for the last 100 years, so it was the ideal place to go and create your own country. 
After contacting the Egyptian authorities, Heaton travelled 6,000 miles to claim his 2,000 sq km new 'state' that he named The Kingdom of North Sudan to plant the new flag – designed by his family on the back of a placemat in a restaurant.
He has since formally applied to the United Nations for observer entity status - a long and complicated process - and set up an embassy in Denmark.
But Heaton has now also launched a fundraising campaign to build The Ark, a a state-of-the art laboratory in his hot, barren desert country, called the Kingdom of North Sudan.
He told MailOnline: 'I asked my children what we should do with the land, and they said they wanted to grow a garden big enough to feed everyone in the world.'
He said his reign will be dedicated to researching how food can be grown with a limited water supply, as well as other measures to combat the effects of climate change.
Princess Emily told MailOnline she was delighted to now be part of a 'royal family'.

Asked why she wanted to be a princess, she said: 'Because I wanted to help people', adding it felt 'awesome' when her dad told her he had made her royalty.
'I was proud of him. Now I want the country to be a really big garden that can feed people', said Emily. 
But behind the fairytale story, Heaton explains there is a serious scientific need to address changes in the climate which are hampering food production around the ground.
As a farmer in Virginia, he has first-hand experience of the problems encountered during seasons of abnormally low or high rainfall as he tries to grow pumpkins and corn.
'On the surface it seems like an un-doable idea, but if you look at what we are facing worldwide, the 'bread basket' areas are getting drier and drier', he said.
'It's getting harder and harder to grow food, and very little research is being done into the problem.
'If you can make food grow in the desert, you can take that same technology and apply it to other climates. This project is the first project on earth that will one nation dedicated to deal with climate change.
'How we use water is untenable and a different approach has to be taken.'
He said he's attracted the support of hundreds of scientists from around the world, who he says are 'frustrated' by their research efforts being hampered by a lack of funding.

WHAT'S IN A FLAG? THE EMBLEM OF THE KINGDOM OF NORTH SUDAN

Emblem: The flag of the Kingdom of North Sudan

The bright-coloured flag of the Kingdom of North Sudan was designed on the back of a placemat at a restaurant, as the 'royal family' enjoyed a meal out.
The gold star represents Heaton's wife and mother of his children Kelly, who is 'the top of everything that happens'.
The three stars represent the children Justin, Caleb and Emily, and their white colour represents the purity of their hopes and dreams.
The crown represents the monarchy created in the Kingdom, and the rays of light their hopes for improving the world.
Finally the blue symbolises their commitment to their dreams of what their new Kingdom can achieve. 
'Research is very dependent on grants, but within this country they will have their own laboratory, so scientists won't have to spend their time bidding for money.
'A lot of people are frustrated by the lack of government action, but this will be the one country in the world that is doing everything it can to ensure research is being done on the problem.'
Heaton told MailOnline that he has been supported by the Egyptian authorities in his quest to set up a new community in the land, which only has around 290mm of rainfall a year. London, by comparison, has around 600mm.
'Our development goals are shared by Egypt – it is investing heavily in renewable energy, and water supply is something that the government of Egypt is struggling with right now. This type of innovation fits in perfectly with their aims', he said.
'Building a brand new country from scratch will create employment – there's a lot of folks that are unemployed in Egypt and if we can help them that's going to be tremendous.
'I have not spoken with Sudan – because I am an American, I have a lot longer road to travel with Sudan because of the economic sanctions that are in place.'
Heaton has launched a crowd-funding scheme to help him realise his dream, which hopes to raise $500million initially - although the final total bill to built a new nation will cost around four times that, he estimates.
In exchange for $1.75 million, patrons can name the capital city, while a donation of $50,000 will buy you the chance to put your face on the Kingdom's new currency. 
The scale of the project has attracted criticism from academics, who say he will come unstuck by the practicalities of creating a new country between two existing nations.
Experts on the region quoted in Al Jazeera argue that there is 'no way' either Egypt or Sudan would let his scheme get off the ground, and that any attempt to access water could see him run into conflict with the neighbouring states. 
Speaking to MailOnline, Dr Kathleen Miller is an expert from the study of society and environment at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
She said she hadn't heard about Heaton's ambitious plans but that unusual droughts were leading to large declines in agricultural output. 
Developing the Kingdom into a fully functioning nation is 'far fetched', Heaton adds - but it is about 'taking a child's dream and turning it into a reality... my job is to make this world a better place for my children'

HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN STATE 

The conditions of statehood were laid out in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, signed in Uruguay in December 1933.
Article One of the treaty sets out the four criteria for statehood, which say that for a country to be recognised it must have:
1. A permanent population
2. A defined territory
3. Government
4. The ability to enter into relations with another state 
For a country to be recognised by the United Nations as a state, it has to submit an application to the Secretary General, who will then pass it to the Security Council for its consideration.
The permanent members of the council - Russia, USA, Britain, France and China - can veto the application, but if it passes then a vote is passed to the General Assembly. Two-thirds of members need to approve the application before it is passed.
'Unless he has a good access to ground water, that would mean ground water mining which is what we are seeing in California at the moment' she said.
'I can't say I'm particularly confident about this fellow's chances – unless he's also planning to draw on ground water that is underlying the land, because to produce any kind of vegetation you will need some water.
'The process of organic matter requires a certain amount of water.'
Eric Reeves, a Sudan expert and English professor at Smith College, said in 1899 the British readjusted the division between Egypt and Sudan, and that the former still claims the Hala'im Triangle - which most maps show as belonging to Sudan - is part of Egypt. 
He said: 'The simple fact of the land being unclaimed now says nothing about its future, depending on Sudan-Egyptian relations and whether or not there is anything of value underground.
'Mr Heaton's "kingdom" exists only because Sudan and Egypt can't agree on straightening the border line at the point. 
'Were they to do so, the small bulge that is cartographically evident now would disappear overnight.​ His vision is, in short, preposterous.
'This all is sheer fantasy, and were Mr Heaton to make even one serious move toward "colonising" or "inhabiting" any portion of the Hala’im Triangle,​ he would encounter a hostility from Khartoum for which he clearly has no imagination.' 
But Heaton said he is not listening to the scheme's opponents.
'There are those naysayers with their scepticism who criticise what we are trying to do, which is eliminate world hunger', he said.
'Every project of great ambition has its doubters, and that's unfortunate – if they lack the vision for the future to see what they are trying to do.
'Is it far-fetched? Absolutely. Time will tell whether this project is successful, but along the road I'm going to do everything I can to make this dream a reality.
'It disheartens me greatly to see academics criticising the project but it comes down to money, and if we can raise the money.'
And achieving the impossible, Heaton added, will inspire his Princess daughter and sons Justin, 12, who recently won a national science award in the USA for designing a power plan, and 11-year-old Caleb to greatness.
'For Emily, nothing in this world has changed for her', the proud dad added. 'The real legacy will be if I am able to make this become a reality.
'If she is part of the mosaic of activities that created the solution to solve world hunger, that's more than any parent can want for their children.
'It's about taking a child's dream and turning it into reality. She wants to help the people in this world, and my job is to make this world a better place for my children.'
