Thank you Pierre, this answers my question: The borders in Maplibrary
are not the current ones.

Well, NaturalEarth is public domain
(http://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/) so we could use
the data. Importing is not a problem, and I already have the missing
segment of the border converted into an osm file.
The only disadvantage of the NaturalEarth is the rather poor accuracy.
The OCHA COD FOD data shows more detail. A quick check showed
differences of more than 1 km.
So I would rather wait at least until tomorrow, if we can identify some
better source than NaturalEarth.
