The Republic of Kenya and the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR)
announced the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two
countries at ambassadorial level, Saturday in a joint communiqué issued
from the Kenyan Capital Nairobi.

The Republic of Kenya, which has a prestigious figure among the African
family for its contribution in the liberation of the continent under the
leadership of the late Jomo Kenyata, is a country that plays an
important role in favour of peace and stability in Africa.

This recognition, that intervenes at a moment when the UN still is
hesitating in the implementation of its resolutions for the
decolonisation of Western Sahara because of the intransigence of
Morocco, "is a strong message from Africa to the international
community, especially to the Security Council, requiring positive
results out of the peace process the United Nations initiated 14 years
ago", officially underlined a diplomatic source to SPS.

It is also a fraternal solidarity and comfort from Africa to the
Saharawi people, especially in this moment when it suffers a pitiless
and sanguinary repression besides the bitterness of occupation", the
same source added, indicating that the independence of Western Sahara
"will enable the turning of the last page of colonisation in Africa".
