There are several media outlets in Kenya reporting that the government has closed a border with neighboring Somalia indefinitely with cross border trade banned in the process. The specific border point is the Lamu County area, one of four border crossings between the two neighbors. They are also joined by Mandera, Wajir and Garissa Counties.
The border closure is the latest leg of a diplomatic rift over a maritime demarcation that is currently before the International Court of Justice, ICJ, in The Hague.
