Kenya proposes regional maritime treaty to end Ethiopia-Somalia dispute

Kenya has made a proposal to diffuse tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia over an Ethiopian deal with Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland that would give it port access and enable it to set up a naval base, a top Kenyan official told Reuters.

The proposal involves the negotiation of a regional maritime resources treaty that will govern how states in the region can access ports on commercial terms, said Korir Sing'oei, the head of Kenya's state department for foreign affairs.
