US Backs Uhuru's Stand on Kenya-Somalia Maritime Border Dispute

Hey this area of dispute is in the water,Nobody can farm or leave there.How about saying ,lets go 50/50 on profits,and expenses,plus employment?
Does either of the two countries have evidence of ownership?
The last option that I dont recommend is for the country that strongly believes that it owns that area, to take its military there and protect the area.

@Maxiley, I saw a map of the disputed area. Both Countries have a legitimate claim, depending on the compass that you are using. We have already discovered Oil in Kenya, and there may be Oil in Somalia, but nobody cares to go there to explore for it. If there is Oil in this disputed area, it is worth much more than farming. The dispute should be amicably resolved, but it is always the Kenyans who don't turn up at meetings, or in negotiations. They regard themselves as too 'Superior' to negotiate with a 'Failed State', the result being Somalia going to the ICJ. It does not matter who the ICJ, or the US sides with. If the issue is not resolved between Kenya and Somalia, it will be like sore, wound, which can begin festering at any moment.

Maxiley, i may not know you but I highly regard your perspective on many issues. But on this one umenoa kabisa - your neighbor doesn’t wake up one day yo decide that 20% of your property is theirs
I really don’t know what Uhuru is talking about - there’s no question, there should be any question about the Kenya border with Somalia. Somalia should go to The Hague alone and Kenya SHOULD never, ever respond or even appear to respond to any claim about this territory by Somalia. And if this war-like tribe y’a Wasomali ikisumbua too much, sheer military force be used all the way to Mogadishu, period!
Positively ZERO NEGOTIATIONS!

Uhuru Kenyatta himself finances Al shabab.

If the Kenyan government does not finance Alshabab then they should account for Eurobond 1,2,3 , NYS 1 &2, SGR looted billions, Afya house looted money, Arron & Kimwerere dam among others.

The Kenya government has been financing Al shabab ,Al qeada and insecurity in Kenya.

The American government should not take everyone for fools.

Where is Al shabab getting its financing and weapons??

I will tell you::
>>>>>It’s getting it from the illegitimate Kenyan government. <<<<That’s why Uhuru Kenyatta ignored the intelligence report he was given about Garissa university and more than 147 students were killed.

The Somali government should know its being used to tame a rogue organization that is being funded by the people in the Kenyan government.

There is no legal grounds for Keynia to claim Somali Marotame by drawing fake line.

Kenya cannot wakeup one morning to claim somalia is theirs,the disputed area belong to somalia period
No negotiations

Kenya is the only country that looks at Somalia in a brotherly manner. Somalia may never appreciate anything about Kenya but the truth is no other country in the world would do as Kenya does..anyhow.. May God continually keep Kenya and its boundaries!

Agree with dividing it 50/50 then the Kenyan government closes all the refugee camps that hosts Somalians and chase all of them out of our 254. Enough of these shit of babysitting killers who turn against us once settled. Remember to add big mouthed shiftaa Duale!!!!

Nor an inch of our country called Kenya will be taken by neighboring whether by Uganda or somalia its just a matter of time will dilly with you at the same time😏😏😏

Adolf Hitler loving Trump hates Somalis and Somalia. That alone is enough to rubbish this hand picked mouthpiece. As Trump's watchdog, this ambassador to Kenya has no locus standi commenting on Kenya Somalia disputes. It is USA ambassador to Somalia's job.

Secondly, Somalia is fragile at the moment, though not as very weak when Kenya forced the MOU down the throat of a transitional government that it had set up in Nairobi, as a no block controlling imaginary government. So it is not weak, can fight back with resources from Al shabaab and Arab pals like Turkey, etc.

And Kenya has already refused to negotiate forcing Somalia to go to the UN court, which judges without fear or favour, a non binding humane judgment from where both countries can either negotiate or negate.

Finally, Kenya-Somalia border is very clearly demarcated. We follow straight lines everywhere at the border and at sea the map says it is a straight line, like that with Tanzania. But Kenya wants to have it's cake and eat it differently with both Somalia and Tanzania.

No Somali wants to have Kenya landlocked because vof all the help Kenya gave, even if it is obscured by the cruelty and abuse of Somali refugees. So we need a give take solution. MeI think that it is prudent for Kenya to start treating Somalia and ethnic Somalis with respect, streamroll Somalia's membership in EA Community and request the maritime area to be shared resources.
