“”I believe that the people and the government of Kenya know that they have no interest in the deterioration of relations between the two countries. We will work to improve relations between the two countries, but if they reject the prospects for peace, the Somali government stands and is responsible for defending its people, its country, its religion and its waters,” he said.
