Kenya Affirms Support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan in the Sahara

Kenya has officially expressed its endorsement of Morocco's autonomy plan concerning the Sahara region, categorizing it as "the only credible and realistic solution" to the ongoing dispute. This declaration underscores Kenya's commitment to collaborate with other nations that share similar views to facilitate the implementation of this plan. This pivotal position was articulated in a joint communiqué that followed the inaugural session of the Morocco–Kenya Joint Cooperation Commission, which took place in Nairobi. The session was co-chaired by Morocco's Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita, along with Musalia Mudavadi, Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs.

In the joint communiqué, Kenya acknowledged the increasing international support for Morocco's autonomy plan, which is further reinforced by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797. The communiqué also reaffirmed Kenya's backing of the initiatives led by the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy aimed at progressing the political dialogue necessary for resolving the dispute. Morocco reciprocated this sentiment by expressing appreciation for Kenya's position and its endorsement of the UN framework as the sole mechanism to achieve a sustainable political resolution.
