Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah el-Sisel mediated talks between the Kenyan and Somali heads of state agreed ‘to restore relations to previous status’ and ‘take diplomatic steps to build confidence between the two governments’.
Kenya and Somalia have been at loggerheads over a maritime and territorial dispute, that is currently before the International Court of Justice, ICJ, in The Hague.
Since February this year, when Somalia accused Kenya of auctioning oil and gas fields in the disputed maritime area, relations between the two countries have gone cold.
The agreement reached in the United States on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, is the second time this year, that both countries are committing to restoring diplomatic relations.
In this new agreement, Somalia reportedly insisted that the maritime case should be left to the ICJ for final arbitration.
In March this year, Ethiopia’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed mediated talks between the two East African neighbours.
