If one is to ask which country has disputes virtually with all her neighbors, then one needs not to go that far, Kenya is that country.
With Somalia, Kenya has a dispute over a maritime border that covers an area that covers a triangle of 38000 sq km.
With Ethiopia and South Sudan, Kenya has a dispute with this country over Ilemi triangle. The skirmishes that we see ENDF crosses to Kenya and kill villagers and security officers has to do with this. Of recently a Kenyan civillian plane was shot down in Somalia by ENDF.
With Uganda, Kenya has a long dispute over ownership of Migingo Island in Lake Victoria a tiny rock Island of 2 sq km, a call point for fishermen.
WIth Tanzania, Kenya has a simerring dispute over trade, coronavirus being used as an excuse but the main issue is central corridor outwitting Northen corridor even after the much touted SGR is operational but getting less cargo as the rehabilitated MGR in Tanzania is proving to be a serious competitor while LAPSSET has stopped as no funds to support its construction!
Should this surprise anyone that this is how international relations are being handled by Kenya?
