sources close to Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud have confirmed that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is currently brokering a resource-sharing deal between Kenya and Somalia. This development comes amid the maritime dispute between the two nations, with Kenya, led by President William Ruto, seeking Somali resources despite losing the case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The proposed agreement would grant Italian energy company Eni permission to drill in Somali waters. While the specifics of the deal are still being negotiated, it is anticipated that both Kenya and Somalia will benefit from the revenues generated by Eni's operations.
