No, you're wrong; it isn't 'best case scenario.' For Kenya, refusing the verdict would be tantamount to being convicted of felony; which would have irreparable damage to its future. Kenya has 'pride', and under no circumstance would it comply with the verdict even if it's in its best interests.It's official, they've refused to accept the verdict of the icj decision that will happen next week.
That means the best case scenario for Somali gov is a settlement through talks since Somalia doesnt have the military strength to repel kenya or to control these waters.
what military you talking about? you think Kenya can do anything if for example Somalia agrees with a big multinational company like shell? or BP? to do the drilling and extraction.It's official, they've refused to accept the verdict of the icj decision that will happen next week.

The big oil companies wouldnt drill in a place on behalf of somalia in an area that is considered disputed. This decision is only favourable in the sense that no country will drill on behalf of kenya, but at the end somalia's advantage is only on paper.what military you talking about? you think Kenya can do anything if for example Somalia agrees with a big multinational company like shell? or BP? to do the drilling and extraction.It's official, they've refused to accept the verdict of the icj decision that will happen next week.

Kenya is a powerful country when compared to somalia but however in comparison to big oil companies, Kenya is a 3rd world shithole with 0 actual influence. don't let their so called "power" fool you. even now they rely on EU funding to stay inside somalia.
anyone that thinks Kenya can actually threaten and stop Somalia auctioning those oil blocks is deluding themselves. There be zero sharing with Kenya.
what damage would it cause to its future? Ill take back the part about somalia needing to sit down with kenya, we can play the waiting game as somalia will have leverage in legal matters regarding sovereignty over these waters, however at the end of the day you either come to an mutually agreed settlement or use force .No, you're wrong; it isn't 'best case scenario.'

That is what the international court is for. to legalize something that everyone already knew but would not touch. Now that Somalia has the judgement there is nothing kenya can do. Somalia will auction those fields. there are rules and laws this world follows otherwise what is stopping any country from claiming another countries territorial integrity.The big oil companies wouldnt drill in a place on behalf of somalia in an area that is considered disputed.

You're implying as if there weren't settlement attempts; there were. The reason Somalia took it to the ICJ is 'cause those attempts have failed, with Kenya failing to show up in the last meeting. If there's gonna be a 'mutually agreed settlement', it would be for Somalia to forget about the offshore. Kenya is wishing that Somalia forfeit for free potential tens/hundreds $billions, and that isn't gonna happen.what damage would it cause to its future?

When was Erhiopia convicted of Felony for staying in Gedo foe 30 years?No, you're wrong; it isn't 'best case scenario.'
