"Somalia will drift off, create a new island, and we'll have a smaller Africa and a very big island that floats out into the Indian Ocean."

Interesting read, though it certainly demostrates (sadly) just how tiny our lifepans are that we can't truly observe the long term effects of such geological phenomenon.

People have been keeping an eye on this for a while. Its going to be the 'Gulf of Africa' or 'African Sea'.
