The island itself was claimed by both Kenya and Uganda. Much if not most of the Ugandan protests revolve around the lucrative fishing rights, mostly for valuable Nile perch. On 13 March 2009, several government ministers, met in Kampala, Uganda, and reached an agreement that the fishermen from both countries be allowed to continue conducting business as usual, until the boundary was determined by experts. They also agreed that Uganda withdraw the 48 policemen it had deployed on Migingo to "mantain law and order".
The island has a population of about 131, mostly fishermen and fish traders, who are served by four pubs, a number of brothels, and a pharmacy. It is a 0.0008 sq mi dirt mound with 131 inhabitants.
