ICJ to rule in Gabon-East Guinea spat over islands in oil-rich gulf

The International Court of Justice is set to rule on a long-standing dispute between Gabon and Equatorial Guinea concerning the sovereignty of three small islands, Mbanie, Cocotier, and Conga. These islands, potentially rich in oil and gas, have been at the center of contention since the early 1970s, with both nations citing different treaties to support their claims.
