Kenya already saying court case outcome will be unfair


This is made worse in a case such as the Somalia v Kenya case before the ICJ.

Kenya has indeed expressed its extreme discomfort surrounding the choice to conduct the proceedings on Zoom. Other than the security issues enumerated above, the transition to this web platform has resulted in the ICJ stating that the court would only admit four people from the Kenyan team. This will lead to the unfortunate exclusion of some first-hand witnesses from Lamu – the area whose inhabitants will feel the immediate, adverse effects a potential delimitation in favour of Somalia – who would provide key information about their historical and cultural ties to the disputed area.

Furthermore, because of the lack of adequate security on the Zoom platform, the safety of potential key witnesses from Somalia who may testify against their home country is put at a great risk. They may opt to withdraw their testimonies, which will weaken the Kenyan case substantially. A culmination of the above will result in court proceedings that are wholly compromised, unjust and unfair.


The truth is that the transition from physical to virtual likely came too quickly and the robust framework for privacy and security that is meant to accompany the ICJ court process was not as integrated into this digital evolution as is necessary.

In recognition of this, Kenya has requested that this case be postponed, but to no avail. The case will continue on March 15 with the process still plagued by all of these blaring issues. With the court process surely compromised, can we truly hope for an outcome that is based on fairness and justice?

Hearing Kenya-Somalia case on Zoom insecure

Courts have been experiencing a phenomenon that has now been termed as “Zoom-bombing”

Question is who are these traitors who will take the stand against Somalia?

Somalia hired lawyers off of google as if they needed a traffic lawyer. Can’t blame them, it is a habit they picked up from driving too many hours in the streets of London.

I want to know who sold their asses. Kulaha safety of potential key witnesses from Somalia? Either Kenya is bluffing or somebody got paid big bucks

This is what 3 decades of civil strife gets you = zero political clout and few connections. As Somalis, we had ample time to sort out our affairs but we wasted it on clan disputes and turf wars.

We are a disunified and bickering people and that just succeeds in making us an easier target to be picked off one by one by our enemies (Ethiopia and Kenya) who through sheer will keep the many different ethnic groups in their nations together despite the occasional periodic conflicts.

doubt its a bluff. with the current state of somalia paying some people off to say "somalia has no connnection to these waters" or something of the sort wouldnt be too hard

 

[Interested]

Imma need pessimists to stfu during the hearing period. We are going to win InshaAllah. What Kenya is doing is predatory, they have a weak case..and seems like they are ill prepared judging from how the changed lawyers just last month..
No more Ls . this gonna give a good momentum to the 'Somalia is back' shit we been chanting last few years.

Imagine if their name leaked, they would have to seek witness protection outside of Somalia.
