The disputed over Migingo Island pitying Kenya and Uganda seems far from over after Kenyan security forces were denied access to the island by their Ugandan counterparts forcing them to seek solace on adjacent Ugingo Island. On Monday, Kenya sent security officers in the island but were denied access with Uganda police officers frisking them for any arm before they stepped in the island, the officers left their guns at the adjacent Ugingo Island few meters away and were only allowed as civilians in Migingo.
