Kenya, Somalia Agree To Fix Strained Relations(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday held talks with visiting Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Roble, with the two leaders agreeing to reset Kenya-Somalia relations after months of strained ties. The bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries have been strained for several months after Mogadishu accused Nairobi of violating its sovereignty and interfering in the country’s political affairs. Kenya, which hosted protracted negotiations that culminated in the formation of a transitional government of Somalia in 2004, has vehemently denied the allegations. On his part, Roble expressed regret over the recent deterioration of relations between Kenya and Somalia, saying it was an error for the two countries to forsake the vision of unity held by their founding fathers. While acknowledging the historical relationship that exists between Kenya and Somalia, Roble said the friendship had been based on “good neighbourliness, cooperation, stability, and mutual respect.” (NAN)
