The Head of State noted that the violence would reverse Sudan’s stability and gains made to ensure lasting peace and prosperity.

“The outbreak of violence will only reverse the gains Sudan has made to the detriment of its lasting peace and prosperity,” said Ruto.

The Head of State further stated that he would consult the regional leadership and other relevant international partners to seek ways for mediation of the Sudan crisis.

“Kenya and the IGAD States are available and ready to contribute to the resolution of this crisis. I am consulting with the regional leadership and other relevant international partners to seek ways to support dialogue and mediation,” he added.
