Dear All,
There is a BIG crisis brewing between Kenya and Uganda. The matter is the
sovereignty of the Migingo Island;Population is estimated at 600, 85% Kenyan
people, the rest Uganda and a few Tanzanian. Very wealthy in fish stock.
Migingo is in Lake Victoria.
Migingo is over 240km away from Ugandan soil. It is merely 15 km from Kenyan
soil.
The Crisis;Uganda has hoisted its national flag and demanding taxes from
Kenyans living and working there whom they term as 'foreigners'. Ugandan
soldiers have been posted there to defend Uganda's 'territorial integrity'.
Kenya; Has withdrawn its police and is currently pursuing diplomatic avenues.
Consequences;patriotism in Kenya has reached all-time high and Ugandan state
belligerence is obvious with the posting of their security personnel in the
island.
The two countries have pledged to spend almot £1.1million on international
expert survey services (they will go halfs) at the expense of starving millions.
Questions to this forum:
1. Is their more than meets the eye-Has black gold been discovered in this
disputed area
2.Is Migingo and its environs in Kenya or Uganda
There is a BIG WAR coming. We have to stop it
