SOMALIA PRESIDENT Farmaajo and Ethiopian PM Abiy have landed in Nairobi to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta.
This follows a bitter break out over maritime border as Kenya declared Somali an Enemy state.
Regarding allegations that it auctioned oil and gas blocks in Kenya’s maritime territorial area that borders it, the Somalia ministry said it was not doing so and that it did not have any such plans.
“Somalia is not now offering, not does it have any plans to offer, any blocks in the disputed maritime area until the parties’ boundary is decided by the ICJ,” the statement said.
Somalia promised Kenya that it will not engage in any activities in the areas under dispute until the court delivers its judgment.
And when it does, the ministry said, “Somalia will fully respect [the decision’] and comply”.
But the leaders with the help of Ethiopia Prime Minister want the row brought to an end as both countries are losing so much economically.
