Doha: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has said that Qatar wants the continuation of normal relations between Somalia and Kenya and has encouraged both countries to strengthen their communication channels for better relations.
“Now the task to maintain good relations falls on the shoulders of two countries. Qatar will follow these developments in the relationships and if there is any need for Qatar to intervene, we will keep supporting these efforts. However, we hope that there will be no need for that,” said H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in an interview to Al Jazeera.
Somalia-Kenya-The Hague March 08, 2021 to 10:39 718 APA-Mogadishu (Somalia) A high-powered government delegation on Monday left Mogadishu for The Hague ahead of a crucial March 15 hearing of Somalia s maritime case with neighbouring Kenya at the International Court of Justice.
The delegation to the ICJ is being led by Somali Prime Minister, Mahdi Guled who is being accompanied by Somalia s Attorney General Suleiman Mohamud.
Part of the team also includes Mohamud s predecessor Ahmed Dahir.
Somalia had dragged Kenya to the ICJ over rival claims to an oil-rich part of their shared Indian Ocean coastline after Mogadishu failed to resolve its differences with Nairobi on the issue in 2014.
Gunfire broke out on an opposition demonstration in the Somali capital Mogadishu Friday. The city is currently under heavy security surveillance as political tensions deepen.
