How Kenya-Somalia diplomatic spat started

The diplomatic spat between Kenya and Somalia bears the hallmarks of mistrust between two neighbours over control of lucrative oil and gas resources. While Somalia accuses Kenya of boycotting meetings to resolve the maritime boundary matter, Kenya claims Somalia reneged on a memorandum of understanding where the two countries were to negotiate the maritime boundary dispute. But as Sam Ogina reports Somalia accuses Kenya of encroachment into its maritime zone occasioning its case at the international court of justice.

I don't know why Somalia is assuring Kenya?
That sea area belong to Somalia end of discussion.
Somalia should really fix its army and send them near or around the Kenyan border. What is the point of reassuring them to me it looks like as beggars the old government didn't beg.
Soomaaliya Hanoolaato
Jamhuuriyadda Jabuuti Hanoolaato

This is just all storm over a tea cup... and rather silly if you ask me. Now, the argument is that the measuring should be a) 90 degrees to where the land meets the ocean vs b) Following along the the lines of latitude. Okay. Look, if we changed it for them, we would then have to go down to TZ and ask THEM to change ours with them too, that would then in turn cause them to go down to Mozambique, ask them the same, then Mozambique to go down to SA, ask them the same, SA to go around to Zimbabwe, ask them the same.... getting a drift here? of THAT, because of what? Instigated by shennanigans from who, you know? Me I'm saying to them, GROW UP and do business.

Compagnies in charge said that they didnt explored the disputed area (nobody will lose money for someting disputed nd also kenya has already companies there which already extracting oil from the disputed area ) the land which hosted data exposition(london) said that the disputed area was not mentioned nd also somalis said that they didnt sells out oil in disputed area. People of good will have To stop uhuru s team otherwise It Will be Kenya suicide . Somaliya has nothing to loose

[koldkase]

Somalia has experienced civil war for 3 decades economy is non existent, we rely on aid, most businessmen from Somalia relocated to Kenya one of them building the tallest skyrscrapper in Nairobi and no one buys our livestock I think we deserve the oil let us take it besides in a few decades oil will be worthless
