Kenya and Somalia
Kenya scores 38/100 toward Somalia (unfriendliness, pressure), while Somalia scores 45/100 back.
Kenya toward Somalia
Kenya faces renewed Al-Shabaab border security concerns prompting parliamentary probes, and is losing its miraa market in Somalia to Ethiopian competition, reflecting strained and defensive relations rather than active cooperation.
Somalia toward Kenya
Somalia's embassy in Nairobi is upgrading digital infrastructure (a routine cooperative signal), but Somalia's political crisis is spilling into Kenya and flights are disrupted, suggesting limited but not hostile engagement.
