In disappointing diplomatic and trade news, Kenya has been forced to recall its ambassador in Mogadishu in emergency consultations after Somalia allegedly auctioned oil and gas blocks in Kenya’s Maritime teritorial area that borders Somalia.

“This unparalleled affront and illegal grab at the resources of Kenya will not go unanswered and is tantamount to an act of aggression against the people of Kenya and their resources.

“This outrageous and provocative auction deserves and will be met with a unanimous and resounding rejection by all Kenyans as well as all people of goodwill who believe in the maintenance of international law and order and the peaceful and legal resolution of disputes,” the PS Kamau said.
