East Africa: Kenya, Eritrea take their Somalia quarrel to the UN

Just days after Asmara called for reprimand against Kenya for associating her with Somali rebel group Al-Shabaab, Kenya has filed a case before the UN Security Council's sanctions committee calling for investigations into Eritrea's alleged support to the insurgents. Kenya's UN Permanent Representative Macharia Kamau filed the case days after the Eritrean Foreign minister Osman Saleh wrote to the Council, calling for independent investigations into Kenya's accusations that it was arming the Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
