KAMPALA – As the world watches with betted breath over souring relations between Somalia and Kenya, Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo will this month be in Uganda’s capital Kampala where Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta is also expected for inaugural Africa Now Conference.

According to information, Mr. Farmajo confirmed his attendance at the summit which is due to be held on March 12 and 13, 2019.

Awel Uwihanganye, the Associate Director of the Africa Strategic Leadership Centre, a Kampala-based Pan-African think tank which organized the summit, said Farmajo had confirmed his attendance and would be hosted by President Yoweri Museveni, joined by other leaders like Tanzania’s Deputy President Samia Hassan Suluhu.

Egypt’s President Fattah Al Sisi, Rwanda’s Paul Kagame and South Africa’s Syril Ramaphosa are among a list of many other heads of state yet to confirm their attendance just as is Kenyatta.

A State House source speaking on condition of anonymity has intimated that State House will use the opportunity of Kenyatta and Farmajo being in the country to organize talks between the two that will see them address the recent developments in the Indian Ocean.

On February 16, the government in Kenya sent packing the Somalia ambassador and also recalled their representative from Mogadishu, indicating a row between the two neighbors Somalia and Kenya.

Kenya alleged that Somalia had auctioned disputed offshore oil blocks. The same blocks are the subject of a suit at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands.

In an address to journalists, Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma said Kenya would not cede any of its Indian Ocean resources.

However, the government of Somalia dismissed Kenya’s claims that oil blocks were auctioned.

Kenya, however, maintains that Somalia auctioned some of the offshore oil blocks within the disputed 100,000 square kilometers. Dr. Juma cited blocks 230, 231, 232 and 233 as the oil blocks Somalia offered bidders at the February 7 Somalia Oil Conference in London, insisting they belong to Kenya’s maritime zone.

According to the source, the Kampala Summit will offer the leaders of the two countries an opportunity to talk and show the world that all is well at sea for the two countries who are so tied economically and socially that they stand to lose a lot in a diplomatic dispute.

Farmajo, who came to power in 2017, has hitherto had the closest relations with the Kenyan leadership.

I think it's just some more Kenyan propaganda
Somalia territory is none negotiable, I'm sure the Somali gov realises that fact.

This is silly. We have nothing to talk about. The matter is being taken care of by our lawyers and Judge Abdulqawi.

There is nothing to talk about. Farmaajo didn't start this dispute and he has been handling it correctly. There is nothing to worry about. We are going to win this at the ICJ and the Kenyans know this.

But what do the Kenyans expect Somalia to do? I don’t get it, if Farmaajo concedes an goes for an out of court settlement he WILL get impeached even putting something in front of parliament is beyond risky i just don’t understand what these adoons want

This is the height of stupidity, Kenya does not want to accept the ICJ's ruling, thats why they want Somalia to back off the case...

Kenya launched a vicious diplomatic pressure with the help of East African countries to force Somalia to accept out of court settlement.

Uhuru met every East African leader and obviously convinced them of putting pressure on Farmaajo and his administration to withdraw from the ICJ. This is a major test for Farmaajo.
