The relations between Somalia and Kenya has been frosty recently. It could develop into serious stage beyond the control if things continue along this trajectory. The dispute eminates from dispute over maritime as well as land boundary. Here is why:-
First, Kenya has just imposed flights from Mogadishu to stopover Wajir for “security reasons”. But Somalia sees this a political move aimed at pressuring and embarrassing Somali travellers including national leaders. Mogadishu could retaliate and the response could be serious.
