By The EastAfricanMore by this AuthorEthiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed will Wednesday mediate talks seeking to resolve the long-running maritime dispute between Kenya and Somalia. "The president’s main objective is to restore and strengthen diplomatic relations with the Republic of Kenya," President Farmajo's office said in a tweet. On its part, Somalia says the boundary extends to the southeast as an extension of the land border. The area in the Kenya-Somalia maritime border dispute is about 100,000km2 forming a triangle east of the Kenya coast. Last week, President Kenyatta met Dr Abiy in Addis Ababa during the Kenya-Ethiopia trade and investment forum, where it is said they discussed the border dispute briefly.
