Kenya's Daily Nation published on 13 October 2019 an article titled "China Seeks Support from Africa on Uighur Policy" by Aggrey Mutambo.
The article notes that for the first time China has circulated to media houses in Africa documents that lay out China's position on the treatment of Uighurs in Xinjiang region. This follows a letter orchestrated by China and signed by 22 African UN ambassadors in New York defending China's policy. The Kenyan ambassador did not sign the letter.
