Its hard to believe that a piece of land that barely covers half an acre
would be a topic of much dispute, but Migingo Island, a tiny fishing
island in Lake Victoria in eastern Africa, does just that.
Both Kenya and Uganda have claimed it's within their own territory,
which causes a lot of tension between the fishermen from each country
who believe they have the right to use it to fish. Most maps will show
that Migingo Island
is just barely within the Kenyan border, but Ugandan fishermen are
adamant that they deserve the right to fish there. It's just a blip on a
map, but it causes quite the uproar.
