Somali Deputy Prime Minister Mahdi Mohammed Gulaid says the International Court of Justice has set 12 October as the date for its ruling in the long-running maritime dispute between Somalia and Kenya.
The ruling will come despite the fact that Kenya has withdrawn from the case, alleging ICJ bias and calling for a Somali judge on the panel to recuse himself.
The case concerns a 62,000 square miles triangle in the Indian Ocean.
It has been going on for the last six years, keeping investors away because of a lack of legal clarity over who owns potential off-shore oil and gas reserves.
