Uganda and Kenya both claim Minigo Island (Area:0.0008 sq mi) in Lake Victoria belongs to them. One hundred thirty one people live on the island, because they like the valuable fish, as well as the "four pubs, a number of brothels, and a pharmacy."

This short documentary is called "Migingo: The Iron clad Island," by Peter Scott.
