Kenya has recalled its ambassador in Mogadishu and ordered Somali envoy out of the country over alleged auctioning of oil and gas blocks in Kenya’s maritime territorial area that borders Somalia.
The auction took place in London, United Kingdom, last week, Foreign Affairs PS Macharia Kamau said Saturday.
Lieutenant-General (Rtd) Lucas Tumbo was summoned back to Nairobi for urgent consultations.
“This unparalleled affront and illegal grab at the resources of Kenya will not go unanswered and is tantamount to an act of aggression against the people of Kenya and their resources.
“This outrageous and provocative auction deserves and will be met with a unanimous and resounding rejection by all Kenyans as well as all people of goodwill who believe in the maintenance of international law and order and the peaceful and legal resolution of disputes,” the PS Kamau said.
Kenya’s sea boundary dispute with Somalia has been simmering for years. In 2014, Somalia sued Kenya at the International Court of Justice asking for a proper determination of the sea border between the two countries. The case is still pending. ICJ judges allowed the case to go to full hearing despite Kenya opposition. Nairobi wanted alternative dispute resolution.
The area in contest is about 100,000 square kilometres, forming a triangle east of the Kenyan coast.
In 2009, Kenya and Somalia had reached an MoU and deposited it at the UN. It proclaimed that the sea border should run eastwards

I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at
options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
