Kenya has shifted its policy to support Morocco's 'autonomy plan' for Western Sahara, reversing its previous alignment with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). This change occurred after President Ruto agreed to withdraw recognition of SADR in exchange for Moroccan fertilizer. Both countries share patterns of repression, with Morocco jailing Sahrawis and Kenya cracking down on dissent.
