Kenya Supports Sudan’s Peace Process Following RSF Charter Signing in Nairobi
Kenya has expressed strong support for Sudan’s peace process following the signing of a charter in Nairobi by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which aims to establish a parallel government.
In light of the recent developments, Kenya has called on the international community, particularly the United Nations, to lend their support to Sudan during this critical time.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who also serves as Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Minister, issued a statement regarding the signing of the charter.
This marked the first time Kenya has officially addressed the issue since the charter was signed. The country expressed appreciation for the process, which had initially posed a threat to Kenya’s diplomatic relations, and urged the global community to increase its support for Sudan in its time of need.
“Kenya also calls for continued and enhanced engagement from regional and international partners, including the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN).
The international community must remain united in its commitment to supporting Sudan’s peace process and guiding it toward a successful conclusion,” Mudavadi stated in the official response.
Mudavadi also highlighted the peace talks that have been taking place in Nairobi, bringing together Sudanese political parties, civil society organizations, and military groups.
These talks led to the signing of a peace agreement and the formation of a unity government. Kenya welcomed these steps as encouraging progress in Sudan’s journey to restore peace, stability, and democratic governance.
“Kenya stands ready to offer both technical and diplomatic support to Sudan. Our shared history, geographical proximity, and common goals for peace make this collaboration crucial.
With strong determination and cooperation, we can help Sudan achieve the lasting peace and stability it deserves.
Together, we can enable the Sudanese people to build a prosperous and peaceful future,” the statement further read.
Kenya reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Sudanese efforts in reconciliation and addressing the root causes of conflict in the country. The peace roadmap signed in Nairobi was praised as a positive framework for future negotiations.
Kenya also dismissed recent threats from Sudan’s Foreign Affairs Office, which had criticized Kenya for hosting RSF representatives in Nairobi.
Mudavadi defended Kenya’s position, stating that participants in the Sudan peace process had praised President William Ruto for his impartial approach to the situation, despite accusations that the Nairobi summit was aimed at forming a parallel government in Kenya.
The charter signed by the RSF in Nairobi outlines their intention to govern rebel-held areas in Sudan, advocating for a secular state and a unified national army.
The charter emphasizes that Sudan should be a secular, democratic, and decentralized state, while also respecting the right of armed groups to continue existing.
Despite this, the RSF clarified that their government is not meant to divide the country, but rather to unite it and end the ongoing war.
They criticized the current government, which is aligned with the army and operates from Port Sudan, claiming it has failed to bring peace to the nation.
