thenb Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 "Well recently, our relations have been in a free-fall. This is not how it should be in my opinion. We may have our disagreements, but our two great countries share the same geography, ethnicity, and culture. I realize that in the past I have been a bit confrontational, so I wish that we should change that, and begin working together to improve our great region."

thenb Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 As you know, the border between Madagascar and us is less then 170 nautical miles, meaning we both share the exclusive economic zone. We suspect there may be oil reserves there, and would like regional support, both for us and the republic, if we do find some there, so it will better benefit us and not the greedy middle-easterners.

"If the oil is in your lands, then it is obviously yours. If it is within the territorial waters of Madagascar and the Kuwaiti Emirate, then the oil is theirs, simple as that. If there is a disagreement, South Africa will do its best to mediate a solution." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenb Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 "I'm not sure if that was said correctly. According to the law of the sea, territorial waters exist 10-20 miles from the coast, and an exclusive economic zone extends for an additional 200 (all nautical miles). However, the sea between us is 170 nautical miles, so we share the economic zone. That is where the issue is." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenb Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 "At the moment, there are a few small proven oil reserves, and speculation that there may be some rather large ones. The area currently being explored is 65 miles out from our coast, and we would just like assurances that if the Kuwaitis try to claim it as theirs, we will have a third party that will be able to implement the law, as it is significantly closer to us."

Cody Seb Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 "We'll see what we can do. Currently we have no way of enforcing it anyway, as our navy is under construction. That being said, we will make sure arbitration takes precedence and that no violence will befall the region because of oil fields. That being said, we never leave our allies behind."
