Its hard to believe that a piece of land that barely covers half an acre would be a topic of much dispute, but Migingo Island, a tiny fishing island in Lake Victoria in eastern Africa, does just that.
Both Kenya and Uganda have claimed it's within their own territory, which causes a lot of tension between the fishermen from each country who believe they have the right to use it to fish. Most maps will show that Migingo Island is just barely within the Kenyan border, but Ugandan fishermen are adamant that they deserve the right to fish there. It's just a blip on a map, but it causes quite the uproar.
