Kenya has backtracked on its earlier decision to recognise the Western Sahara region after it formally declared its support for Morocco.
On Monday, Kenya said it is also supporting Morocco's plan to give the disputed breakaway region autonomy under the North African kingdom's sovereignity.
Kenya joined a growing number of African, Arab and Western countries that have tilted towards backing Rabat in the five-decade conflict.
Following the agreement, Kenya stands to benefit from Morocco, which has agreed to supply phosphates and fertiliser to aid the country's agricultural sector, which the government has been keen on revitalising.
