The Makonde community, who have been stateless for over half a century, now say they wish to cut links with Mozambique.
Existing Makonde in Kenya are descendants of men and women who came to Kenya after the second World War to work on colonial farms in Kwale and Kilifi, and lived on after Kenya's independence in 1963.
