Somalia attorney general: Somalia will not make any compromise on its maritime borders

The attorney general of Somalia holding press conference in Mogadishu on Wednesday explained the maritime dispute between Somalia and Kenya.

Ahmed Ali Dahir, the attorney general said Somalia will not make any compromise on its maritime borders adding that the lawsuit against Kenya is correct and came the right time.

He praised the minister for foreign affairs’ efforts of sending letters to Kenya and other companies that Kenya made concession to carry out research in our territorial waters.

He called the federal parliament of Somalia and the public to back president Hassan’s decision of suing Kenya over the maritime dispute.

Late last month Somalia has decided to sue Kenya over the disputed maritime boundary which diplomatic endeavors failed to bring about understanding between the two countries.

Somali federal government has asked the Hague-based top United Nations justice court to decide the formal oil and gas rich maritime boundary that the two governments share since disputes hindered international oil searching.
