The United Kingdom has relocated a planned military training exercise from Kenya after the licences required were not approved.
Through the Ministry of Defence, the UK said the exercise dubbed 'Haraka Storm', scheduled to run in Laikipia between September and November, will instead take place at an alternative location in a neighbouring country.
“The UK highly values its relationship with Kenya, which is underpinned by mutual benefit, respect and cooperation. The UK-Kenya Defence Partnership is one of the great strengths of our relationship. Our joint training and operations with the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are keeping both Kenyan and British people safe,” a United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (MOD) spokesperson said in a statement shared by the Ministry of Defence spokesperson.
