Kenya and Somalia are grappling with the problem of controlling oil deposits along the maritime boundary of the Indian Ocean, a dispute that has seen both countries seize the International Court of Justice.

However, Nairobi reportedly specifically wrote to Oslo, accusing it of being used to delimit the border while it had no jurisdiction.

"The government is furious that Norway supposed to work for peace in Somalia is involved in the demarcation," said an official who requested anonymity.

Despite stalemate, Kenya wants to talk to Somalia about this, said government spokesman Colonel Cyrus Oguna.

"Dialogue is the best way to resolve a conflict between two countries, and that is the path we are following now," Oguna told the Sunday Nation.

This comes after United Nations observers warned that a conflict could be unleashed in Somalia as a result of commercial oil exploration by the West in disputed areas of the country.

According to the UN report, the Norwegian oil company DNO and the AOI, a listed company in Canada, are listed on Canadian companies. V are cited among companies whose activities in Somalia could trigger a conflict, reported the nation.

"In this case, the involvement of a Norwegian company on the one hand and a Swedish / Canadian-based company on the other is even more troubling, given the long involvement of Norway and Sweden in promoting Somalia peace and dialogue, "quotes the report in Reuters.
