Kenya has competed at fifteen Commonwealth Games.
Yes, Kenya is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. It joined in 1963 upon gaining independence from British colonial rule. The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54 countries, most of which are former territories of the British Empire.
As of 2012 games, Kenya has won 25 gold medals. Kenya has won 86 medals at the Summer Olympics between 1956 and 2012. Of these 56 were in long-distance running events. Their other medal count is 32 silver and 29 bronze.
Kenya was declared a republic on 12 December 1964, when substantial changes were made to the Kenyan constitution to provide for governance of the country as a presidential republic. Elizabeth II ceased to be head of state and the position of Governor-General was abolished. The British Parliament enacted the Kenya Republic Act 1965 to provide that Kenya's status as a republic would not affect Kenyans' status as Commonwealth citizens and British subjects. From independence on 12 December 1963 to the constitutional reforms of 12 December 1964, Kenya was governed as a constitutional monarchy with Elizabeth II as head of state. All duties of the Queen were exercised by the Governor-General of Kenya. Though Kenyan citizens ceased to be citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies on independence, they remained British subjects by virtue of their citizenship in a country that was a member of the Commonwealth.
Kenya doesn't really have any enemies, but the country's best friends are probably the other African nations and England. Kenya is part of the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as many other international organizations.
