Uhuru Kenyatta says ICJ border ruling zero-sum, wants diplomatic solution

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday rejected the decision by the International Court of Justice to redraw the maritime boundary with Somalia, setting a stage for further diplomatic tensions.

Reacting to the ruling that ordered the boundary be based on a line of equidistance, rather than the parallel line of latitude, President Kenyatta said the verdict was “zero-sum” and Kenya will neither accept nor recognise it.
