Today Kenya said that it will not bring diplomatic relations back unless Somalia brings back  the border dispute case from the international court.

It is all about pressure baby.

Not necessarily at this time. Unity in Somalia is the only way to tackle the pressure. Kenya can go into creating conditions on the ground that will make Somalia postpone the whole thing.

Somalia is not strong enough to create problems in Kenya, which normally would have been easiest thing to do.

[Che -Guevara]

Kenya doesn't have resources to make a new reality. Kenya made promises to sell a land they don't own to people who will be more than happy to switch sides should the situation change.

In other words, the very West who tricked Kenya into this misadventure have abandoned them once they realized Kenya has no legal basis and Somalia might be on up.

Besides it was public pressure that forced the case to go before. I don't see that public pressure letting up.

Their brazen attack have also rubbed many the wrong so much so even ardent Farmaajo haters were forced to side with the government at least in public.

Spectrum Geo has issued a press release refuting Kenya's claims.

The show of unity among somalis is stunning on this issur

[Che -Guevara]

It's surprisingly positive.

Kenya's new argument: The white man did so you must respect it.

Can't Kiikuuyos realize cagajiidnimo of delaying and stalling of this court case in order to hope for a new Kiikuuyo-friendly Soomaali government is a fantasy dream?

Somalia rejects Kenya’s third request to postpone maritime case

Somalia rejected a new request dated April 23 by Kenya to have the maritime delimitation hearing case postponed for the third time, The Brief can reveal.

The hearing will thus go ahead as scheduled on June 8-12, unless affected by Covid-19 pandemic.

Already, Kenya has asked for postponement twice, forcing the International Court of Justice to delay the hearing twice.

The case was first pushed back from September 9-12 to November 4-8, 2019, and again to June 8-12, 2020 on Kenya’s request.

In this new filing, according to international journalist Harun Maruf, Kenya cited the Covid-19 pandemic  for the reason to have the maritime hearing postponed.

In the previous request, Kenya had asked for more time to reconstitute its legal team.

The ICJ delayed the case in October last year on the understanding that no further postponement would be granted.

The time of oral arguments allocated to each party will remain as initially planned.

“Again the Court wishes to remind the Parties that the written proceedings, in this case, are already closed. The parties should proceed to the hearings in accordance with the Rules of Court,” the letter stated.

Kenya has been hoping for an out of court settlement on the matter but Somalia has insisted on letting the court decide.

It has previously hinted at not trusting the ICJ, accusing its northern neighbour of ignoring local and continental mechanisms to resolve the dispute.

September 19, 2016, was the first time that Kenya appeared before the ICJ and the position then was and still remains that the Court was not competent to decide the maritime dispute.

Kenya has always maintained its position that it did not consent to the Court’s jurisdiction over disputes where it had agreed to other methods of settlement, including the April 7, 2009 MoU.
