The news came amidst warnings that Kenya could lose even more in the times ahead, as the scuffle between the two countries over oil imports escalates. When Uganda announced it was building its oil pipeline to the Tanzanian port of Tanga, it was a huge payday for the southern forces. Uganda, Burundi, and later Kenya, boosted the northern forces with their lead on the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia (AMISOM). When the Uganda–Tanzania crude oil pipeline is completed, the Southern forces will take home the trophy. But even without the current flap over oil imports, that business was inevitably going almost wholly to Tanzania in the next 10 years.
