Kenyan President William Ruto met with Ambassador Ramtane Lamamra, the Personal Envoy of UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Sudan, at State House Nairobi to discuss the escalating crisis in Sudan.

President Ruto shared on his official X account that the envoy updated him on the United Nations’ efforts to ensure humanitarian access, reduce violence, and facilitate a transition to civilian rule in Sudan.

“I reiterated the commitment of Kenya to support efforts that seek to arrest the tragic humanitarian disaster afflicting the people of Sudan, stop the war and return Sudan to the path that its citizens defined in the revolution of 2019,” Ruto stated.

He emphasised that the crisis in Sudan cannot be solved through military means and called on all parties to prioritize the welfare of the Sudanese people above all else.
