Kenya Backs Sudan’s RSF Charter Signed In Nairobi, Appeals For International Support
Kenya has praised the process while urging the international community, led by the United Nations, to help the country.
This comes after Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) signed a charter in Nairobi to establish a parallel government.
In a statement, Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who also serves as the CS for Foreign Affairs, hailed the process that threatened to plunge the country into a diplomatic crisis while encouraging additional support for the war-torn nation.
“Kenya also calls for the continued and enhanced involvement of regional and international partners including the African Union (AU), and the United Nations (UN), and the international community must remain united in their commitment to ensuring that Sudan’s peace process is fully supported and guided toward success,” read part of the statement by Mudavadi.
”The Government of Kenya takes note of the peace talks in Nairobi by Sudanese Political Parties, Civil Society, and military groups that led to the signing of a peace agreement and the process of the formation of a unity government.”

The statement continued: “The steps are welcomed and encouraging in a journey toward the restoration of peace, stability, and democratic governance in the Republic of Sudan.”
Furthermore, Kenya has vowed to provide Sudan with technical and diplomatic assistance in order to help it attain stability.
“Kenya stands ready to offer technical and diplomatic support to Sudan, as our shared history, regional proximity, and common goals for peace make this collaboration indispensable,” the statement added.
“Together, with steadfast determination and unwavering cooperation, we can help Sudan achieve the lasting peace and stability it so rightfully deserves, and enable the Sudanese people to build a prosperous and harmonious future.”
“Kenya remains committed to supporting the Sudanese people as they embark on the critical journey of reconciliation and to address the root causes of the conflict in their country. The peace roadmap signed in Nairobi provides a good framework for further negotiations.”
Mudavadi said that participants in the Sudan peace process have praised President William Ruto’s nonpartisan approach to the issue.
He ignored recent threats issued by Sudan’s Foreign Affairs Office, which condemned Kenya for hosting RSF groups in Nairobi.

According to Mudavadi, this was amid suspicions that the conference in Nairobi planned to establish a parallel administration in Kenya.
RSF signed a charter on Saturday that allows them to manage rebel-held territories while advocating for a secular state and a unified national army.
According to the charter’s language, the signatories agreed that Sudan should be a “secular, democratic, non-centralised state” with a unified national army, while simultaneously recognizing armed groups’ right to exist.
Furthermore, the charter said that the government’s purpose was to unify the country and stop the war, something it claimed the army-aligned administration based in Port Sudan had failed to accomplish.
