00:04 10.
00:06 U.S.-Mexico Border The U.S.-Mexico border is one of the deadliest
00:13 boundaries owing to the power of the United States Armed Forces, drug cartels, isolated
00:18 deserts and rugged terrains.
00:21 Its length is approximately about 3,145 km, thereby making it quite difficult for the
00:29 United States government to control the illegal border crossing.
00:32 According to a recent survey, approximately 20,000 people died in 2007 alone.
00:39 The U.S. government under the current administration of Donald Trump is making plans of building
00:43 walls across the border to help combat illegal immigration.

01:02 North Korea-South Korea Border In 1948, North Korea and South Korea separated
01:08 which led to a long-term war between both countries.
01:14 No peace treaties were signed, which technically means both countries are still at war.
01:19 If you take a trip to this border, you will definitely come across live barbed wires,
01:24 live minefields, incursion tunnels, tank mines and heavy weapons.
01:29 The border is the worst nightmare for anyone trying to cross it as you will be shot from
01:34 any of the sides.

01:43 for 1,510 miles with numerous disputes taking back to hundreds of years.

01:58 success story of Pakistan's security forces, they have not only been able to eliminate
02:03 terrorism to a great extent but have also broken the myth that fencing at the 2,611
02:09 kilometer long Pak-Afghan border is impossible.

02:33 human lives lost.

02:39 conflict emancipated when Southern Sudan laid a claim in Abai region which ended in 2013.

02:51 their past violence and volatile relationship.
02:55 6.
02:57 Angola-Democratic Republic of Congo Border Angola and DPR of Congo were once allies,
03:05 however their relationship turned sour off an offshore and border demarcation dispute.

03:15 and rape.
03:19 5.
03:23 Kenya-Somalia Border These two countries are amongst the poorest
03:27 nations in the world owing to the state of anarchy at the border area.

03:47 4.
03:50 Venezuela-Colombia Border The border between these two countries is
03:55 one of the toughest all over the world owing to the various accusations between them.

04:26 been disputed.

04:36 for life.
04:37 2.
04:39 Syria-Israel Border Syria is currently among the poorest countries
04:43 in the world owing to its numerous instabilities.
04:47 The dispute between the two nations is as a result of a region known as Golan Heights.

05:39 region of Kashmir in a significant escalation of the crisis between the two nuclear armed
