evidence: - July 2009 a survey team found that the island is 510 metres (1,670 ft) east of the Kenya-Uganda border within the lake, a finding supported by openly available Google Earth imagery. [...] - The island had been claimed by the Ugandan government in 2008-2009 until 11 May 2009 when Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni conceded that the island is in Kenya, but continued to point out that Kenyan fisherman were illegally fishing in Ugandan waters which lie just a few hundred metres (about 700 ft) to the west of Migingo, the Ugandan flag was lowered, Uganda withdrew its military troops, and agreed that all its police officers would leave the island. [...] Ugandans have been on Migingo since 2004, after migrating from Remba Island, also located along the Uganda-Kenya boarder, citing mistreatment by Kenyan officials managing the latter. Then, there were no occupants on Migingo.
