evidence: Uganda has argued, with possible justification, that the British who drew the border line specifically to ensure the Lake Victoria to Mombasa railway remained wholly within Kenya for administrative simplicity, made errors when naming Migingo and two other islands close by. It argues that the description of what is known today as Pyramid Island (because of its shape) better fits the island of Ugingo which actually looks like a pyramid. If Ugingo really is the "Pyramid Island" mentioned on the old colonial maps – rather than what today is considered Pyramid Island – then Migingo is actually in Ugandan waters, by just a few metres. In addition, Uganda insists it is in possession of other colonial maps putting Migingo on its side of the border although these have yet to be validated. Okumu, who also worked on the recent border agreement between Sudan and South Sudan, says that "while the Uganda government maintains that historical records are not clear, Kenya’s position is the opposite. The Kenyans have even threatened military force to occupy the island." But contradiction and obfuscation seems to be the perpetual backdrop to the dispute. Backtracking on the military threat, former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta suggested involving the International Court of Justice (ICJ) so confident was he of Kenya’s position. "And interestingly, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni made a statement that Migingo does belong to Kenya, but the water surrounding it belongs to Uganda," says Okumu. One might conclude the sparring parties are deliberately creating confusion.
