54. Migingo islands:

 b. They were once pushed to the brink of what some said would have been Africa’s “smallest war” over
the island. While fishing communities around Lake Victoria have seen their catches slowly diminish
over the years, the deep waters surrounding Migingo abound with catch such as Nile perch.
c. It was in the early 2000s when the island was barely inhabited — then situated within Kenya on all
maps — that it began drawing the attention of Ugandan authorities who sent officials to Migingo to
tax fishermen and offer protection against pirates. Kenyan fishermen in return began complaining
they were being shaken down by the Ugandans in their own waters and chased from the island. They
called on Kenya’s government, which deployed security forces to Migingo in a move that nearly
brought the two nations to blows in 2009.

is, relying on maps dating from the 1920s whose interpretation is a key point of contention. But
nothing has come of the commission, and in the absence of any decisions on the boundary, the island
is co-managed by both countries.

Nairobi to ask the International Court of Justice to intervene and make a decision on the border — to
no avail.

Uganda,” fired back a Ugandan fisherman passing by, with a smile.
