Yes. How deep is Somalian fraud? I’m sure it’s deeper in Britain, Norway and Sweden than it is in the US. It hits rock bottom within international organizations like the UN. In Kenya it’s beyond rock bottom.
According to the evidence Kenya presented before the ICJ, there were many sections dedicated to corruption and fraud. Recent developments vindicate Kenya. While Somalia disputed those allegations,time has proved Kenya was right. And the many friends of Somalia from Europe and the US who are non Somalian and sponsored Somalia must be beneficiaries of this fraud.
And one crucial map which went missing must have been fraudently disappeared by Somalian fraudsters. That map alone could have confirmed Kenya’s position.
We have upto 2031 October to seek a review of the judgement if we find new evidence. We must exploit the current international pressure on fraudsters to get them yield what we need. It also seems we should pray and hope Republicans continue longer in power, influencing change in leadership in Britain and Europe to cause Somalian conspirators get ousted.
International law is dead. International organizations have been captured. Uhuru’s statement both in Kenya and in the US during Trump’s first term has been justified by Trump’s actions in his second term.
We do not recognize ICJ unfair, not transparent judgement.
As part of their fraudulent activities, and June 24th protests among many other things point to how unpopular their regime is. Their long con since 2009 referendum, now is likely to be legitimized under their propped up regime by having a mini census.
Yet all other data contradicts their desired numbers. Like 2009 referendum showed a Somali woman was giving 2 births per year so as to arrive at the numbers they were claiming.
Financial allocations even today betray their demands. While other areas can afford to share 2k per child in education financing, leaving many others without needed sponsorship, Garissa, Mandera and Wajir can afford to pay full amount for all their students and still have more cash lying around. Their numbers are inflated.
Now, pointing out their numbers are inflated doesn’t mean I am downplaying their past marginalization.
This is one of my main case law studies along with the South China sea dispute and the Ghana/Cote di’ vore dispute. All resolved by machine learning applied to prediction of legal outcomes. Wanna see my case summary and recommendations? (Obviously biased towards Kenya, so not admissible in any court except mine.)
Yes. Did you consider some 2 papers that can be found on the internet that critic that ICJ rulling? One analyses and finds their chosen points are bogus disadvantaging Kenya, the paper then notes the court was not transparent on how it arrived at those illegitimate points, who helped them identify and plot, even when they later silently try to rectify them, they do so silently many months later without notifying anyone. The second paper argues the minority opinion on admissibility of the case was the right thing since no negotiations had been done and somalia acted in bad faith.
Case Law Study: Maritime Delimitation in the Indian Ocean (Somalia v. Kenya)
Introduction
Maritime boundary disputes are central to the study of oceanography and international maritime law, as they determine sovereign rights over navigation, fisheries, and seabed resources. The case of Somalia v. Kenya before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) illustrates the application of international legal principles to contested maritime zones. This study reviews the background, judgment, and potential alternative resolution mechanisms.
Background
Parties: The Republic of Somalia and the Republic of Kenya.
Dispute: A contested maritime area of approximately 100,000 km² in the Indian Ocean, believed to contain significant oil and gas reserves as well as rich fisheries.
Somalia’s Position: Advocated for an equidistance line extending southeast from the land boundary terminus, consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
Kenya’s Position: Argued for a boundary running east along a parallel of latitude, claiming a prior agreement and long-standing practice.
Filing: Somalia instituted proceedings before the ICJ in 2014 after bilateral negotiations failed.
Judgment (ICJ, 12 October 2021)
The Court rejected Kenya’s claim of a pre-existing agreed boundary.
It adopted an adjusted equidistance line, slightly modified to avoid disproportionate effects.
The ruling awarded Somalia most of the disputed maritime area.
Kenya publicly rejected the judgment, citing sovereignty and security concerns.
Legal Principles Applied
UNCLOS Articles 74 and 83: Governing delimitation of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) and continental shelves between states with opposite or adjacent coasts.
Equidistance/Relevant Circumstances Method: The Court applied a standard three-step approach:
Binding Nature of ICJ Judgments: While ICJ rulings are legally binding, enforcement depends on state compliance.
Implications
For Somalia: Expanded sovereign rights over fisheries and potential hydrocarbon resources.
For Kenya: Loss of access to much of the contested zone, raising political and economic concerns.
For Regional Stability: The dispute highlights challenges in enforcing international judgments when national interests conflict.
Alternative Resolution Proposal
Given Kenya’s rejection of the ICJ ruling, a cooperative framework may offer a more positive outcome:
Joint Development Zone (JDZ):
Shared management of resources in the disputed area.
Revenue split based on agreed formula (e.g., equal shares or proportional investment).
Precedent: Malaysia–Thailand JDZ in the Gulf of Thailand.
Bilateral Fisheries Agreement:
Joint regulation of fishing activities to prevent overexploitation.
Cooperative enforcement against illegal fishing and piracy.
Regional Mediation:
Involvement of the African Union or IGAD to facilitate dialogue.
Integration of maritime cooperation into broader regional economic frameworks.
Conclusion
The Somalia v. Kenya maritime delimitation case demonstrates the application of UNCLOS principles and the ICJ’s methodology in resolving boundary disputes. While the judgment favored Somalia, Kenya’s rejection underscores the limitations of international adjudication when national interests are at stake. A joint development or cooperative management arrangement could transform the dispute into an opportunity for shared benefit, aligning legal principles with pragmatic diplomacy.

There are many weapons a functional nation-state has over a failed militia terrorist state btw @Cheza_juu. We can simply kick these people out, despite the UN’s insistence on keeping this camp open.. so they can siphon more funds for useless expatriates running away from their home countries.
joint development zone is the most feasible given the history of somalians to reject anything that can be seen as loss of territory. evidence of that is how they politically framed the maritime dispute that ‘kenya is stealing their sea’ yet maritime boundaries are new frontiers that states are rushing to find settlements and adhere to agreed rules.
on this we are limited by shirika plan. Uhuru had managed the situation well earlier on when rounded up refugees and placed them in Kasarani,later on an agreement on safe return to somalia was signed between Kenya,Somalia with UNHCR as a participant.
In my opinion that agreement has been neutralized by UNHCR working with IMF/World bank when they forced something called ‘Shirika plan’ . Which makes me conclude the Somalians aligned themselves with fraudsters higher up in powerful places while our so called leaders continued to grow round and fat. It also makes me conclude International law is ‘dead’ and it can be remedied by aligning with much higher powers,which in this case are the Republicans. As for Democrats they are fraudsters with capabilities of manipulating international order.They even show that in TV series!!
Yes. It’s the most feasible solution.. if both countries had functional governments. But since Somalia doesn’t have a government, we might as well accept the result for now and wait to see which of the Arab countries will come to sign an oil exploration deal with a country that has no government.
turkey has managed to sign a deal, interestingly some of the deals Turkey is signing are not taken to the somalian parliament like they claimed before ICJ the Kenya MoU is ‘non actionable’ because it was never ratified by parliament. Very fraudlent people. But above all we should align with UAE to counter.
UAE has the advanced Muslims, who certainly won’t mix in with al shabaab pirates. I assume in places like Oman or Saudi Arabia, piracy is considered haram pro max.
In that case, there’s nothing to worry about. Turkey dismembered a journalist inside it’s own borders at the request of foreigners, Qatar is considered ruled by a sectarian muslim sect.. and their potential client has no government and survives via pirate attacks.
A joke case with a joke outcome. Just accept the ruling and wait for Somalia to reform it’s government in the year 2126. Besides, it’s deep water out there full of sharks and such.. nobody will do anything there for at least 5 decades.
Wasn’t Washington in the thick of it when Muhammed Siad Barre was overthrown and Somalia fell into the hellhole it is today?
Operation black hawk down anyone?
Hii ni another case of what mzito Malcolm X said the chicken coming home to roost. Even better than 9/11 inawauma that the brothers were able to come together and beat tge gringo at his thieving games inside his bedroom. And expatriated tge loot back to build the motherland. All hush hush the whole operation was over before their fancy 3 name agencies caught on, kama the midnight train in the days of Harriet Tubman?
Genius. Marcus Garvey would be so proud. United snakes wamejam aje vile they are going bankrupt yet these illiterate africans are able to game us hivi… Just giving them a taste of their medicare, all pun intended, Si munaona vile wanaiba Venezuela live live
