By EDITORIALMore by this AuthorJust when many thought that Kenya and Somalia had resolved to pursue dialogue to end the protracted maritime territorial dispute, the row has returned and almost gone full-blown.

All the while, Somalia has remained a critical market for Kenyan exports, thus contributing to the creation of many jobs for the latter’s nationals.
