Urban myth. There's a similar story about a small bump in the otherwise straight railway line from Moscow to St. Petersburg. That the Tsar drew a line and his finger created a small bump, but the engineers carried everything out exactly as shown on the map. I wouldn't be surprised if there's stories like this all around the world. Like the story of ruler-X who commissioned engineer-Y to design building-Z, and it was so beautiful the ruler had him blinded so he couldn't build something so beautiful again.

Africa actually has relatively few rectangles in densely populated regions. The straight lines are mostly through the sparsely populated Sahara or the Namibian desert. The border between Egypt and Libya for example, looks like a straight line, however it is not so straight when you get to the more densely populated northern section.

In similar way Liberland happened. During Yugoslavia, just after WW2 there was a border established between Serbia and Croatia that followed river Danube. During the years river has moved, or has been moved, so border was not following river itself. After Yugoslavia, Serbia wanted to redraw borders to it's current state - by middle of river, while Croatia wanted to keep old borders, because that way they would have more land. That way there is a land claimed by both, and land claimed by none.

From looking at the satellite photos of the area, I would have to say that is is basically sand and rocks.

If there are any people who might live there, they must be living in either tents or something too small to show up on the satellite images.
