Kenya Officially Supports Autonomy and Opens Its Embassy in Rabat, Affirming Morocco’s Sovereignty over Western Sahara
Kenya has officially announced its explicit support for the autonomy initiative proposed by the Kingdom of Morocco as the only realistic solution to the ongoing dispute over Western Sahara. Observers regard this stance as a qualitative shift in Kenyan foreign policy and a reflection of the growing number of countries backing Morocco’s position across Africa.
The Kenyan stance extends beyond mere statements; it is accompanied by a significant diplomatic move marked by the inauguration of Kenya’s embassy in Rabat. This step carries strategic implications and serves as a direct message to those who had wagered on isolating Morocco within its continental context.
In its formal statement, Kenya commended the efforts led by King Mohammed VI to establish stability and achieve development in the southern regions, considering the autonomy initiative as a serious and effective framework for resolving the dispute. It affirmed that this approach enjoys increasing support from the international community, with a rising conviction regarding the seriousness of Morocco’s proposal.
This development occurs within the context of the rising momentum of Moroccan diplomacy, which continues to strengthen its continental presence through calculated partnerships and strategies based on mutual respect and shared interests. Rabat is gaining new ground and asserting its position as a regional power and a reliable player in Africa.
Simultaneously, the Kenyan position reflects deeper transformations within the continent, where many countries are reevaluating their traditional stances on the Western Sahara issue in light of geopolitical changes and the practicality of the Moroccan initiative.
The expanding recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara is no longer a mere possibility but an established reality, placing Morocco’s opponents in a growing state of isolation and confirming that relying on outdated slogans is no longer effective against well-considered tactical movements and tangible diplomatic results.
