MOGADISHU, Somalia, November 12, 2015 (Garowe Online)-In a fresh twist that may signal diplomatic row on the horizon, Somalia’s Federal Government has officially objected to Kenya proposal to construct security wall along its border, Garowe Online reports.
During a weekly cabinet meeting in Mogadishu on Thursday, Somalia Interior Minister Abdirahman Odawa unveiled that Mogadishu wrote to Kenya about its concerns on the unilateral counter-terror strategy.
Kenya is planning to push ahead with the ambitious project to keep Al Shabaab threats at bay on key border point.
Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke conveyed Somalia’s objection to Kenya wall project over the course of his recent trip.
Remarks coincide with Kenya’s controversial move in which it is demolishing colonial posts along its border with Somalia.
