18. With regard to other parts of Africa still under colonial domination, our stand is very clear. Kenya fully supports the principle of self-determination and independence of the peoples of the country of the Afars and the Issas Djibouti and pledges material and financial assistance to the fight against colonialism and racist subjugation in all Africa. 19. In this context, we condemn strongly the French Government's encircling of Mayotte Island with warships and the stationing of troops there recently with a view to dismembering the newly proclaimed independence of the Comoro Islands and inciting the Mayotte population to secede from the Comoros.
