How different would Bolivia be with the water port that they have negotiated with Peru? Chile has thousands of miles of coastline yet won’t concede even a few files to Chile. The borders and barriers from Chile to Africa-often arbitrarily placed after conflicts-have lasting and deep impacts on the lives of people for hundreds of years. And borders are very difficult, legally speaking, to change without complexity rivaling a nano mite; so we have days of the sea to try and remember, and long negotiations for ports in other countries to try and keep hope.
