So move, nobody is stopping you. Unless it's the Kenyan or Swedish government. Then you've got a problem.

What's your question? Since you're not an EU citizen you need a company or whatever to sponsor you to work for them. It needs to be legit and it's not easy getting a work permit unless your line of work is in demand. For Americans and so on I always recommend trying to find work in a company with departments in Sweden and then asking for a transfer but there are few companies that have departments in both Kenya and Sweden. If you're educated in a profession that's in high demand you could give it a go though. But there's another problem of course - language. Which is why I always suggest the transfer option because finding work in Sweden whilst not speaking Swedish can be tricky to say the least. Unless you work in IT or engineering you may have difficulties. Which leads me to option B: Do what I just said in another EU country. Since you speak English the UK would make sense since it might be easier to find work. Once you get a work permit and then further down the road permanent residency (and then citizenship) you can simply move freely to Sweden as an EU citizen. I know refugees who do this the other way around (that is, apply for asylum in Sweden - naturalise - and then move on to the UK). Which I think is abuse to the system, btw, but it's different when you're a work immigrant. ;) Good luck!
