AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Kenya\u2019s escalating tiff with neighbouring Somalia will be the subject of a high-level regional meeting in Djibouti this Sunday.<\/p>\n

This after Mogadishu wrote a protest letter against Kenya to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), which brings together governments from the Horn of Africa, Nile Valley and the African Great Lakes, over alleged interference with its internal affairs.<\/p>\n

Somalia sought the intervention of the chair of the Igad Assembly of Heads of State and Government Abdalla Hamdok, who is also the Prime Minister of Sudan, on frosty relations between the two nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to the Federal Government of Somalia letter against Kenya, which was submitted to H E Abdalla Hamdok, PM of the Republic of Sudan and the Chair of the Igad Assembly of Heads of State and Government, the Igad will hold a summit in Djibouti on December 20 on this matter,\u201d Somalia Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted late on Sunday.<\/p>\n

An earlier tweet by the ministry, but deleted, claimed that the extraordinary summit was triggered by a \u201clawsuit\u201d but replaced by \u201cletter\u201d that Mogadishu lodged against Kenya.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether Kenya had been notified over the same matter and if President Uhuru Kenyatta confirmed attendance.<\/p>\n

\nThis comes after Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed \u2018Farmaajo\u2019 administration kicked out Kenya\u2019s ambassador Lucas Tumbo and recalled Ambassador Maxamed Axmed Nuur Tarzan last month.<\/p>\n

Somali faulted Kenya\u2019s \u2018overt and blatant\u2019 interferences in her internal and political affairs, which has the potential to affect stability, security and development of the entire region.<\/p>\n

Uhuru yesterday hosted Somaliland President Musa Bihi Abdi at State House, Nairobi to discuss bilateral relations amidst the escalating tension between Nairobi and Mogadishu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
