Kenya hails Sudan peace agreement, calls for continued dialogue

Kenya reaffirmed its commitment to Sudanese-led and Sudanese-owned solutions in a statement issued on Sunday by Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi, emphasising that inclusive dialogue remains the only sustainable path to conflict resolution and long-term peace.

The statement also emphasised Kenya's nonpartisan role in facilitating the talks, despite external pressure and allegations that the Summit intended to establish a parallel government. 

It was noted that more than 4,000 stakeholders engaged in discussions aimed at addressing the root causes of Sudan’s crisis.

“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 statement reads in part. 

“The peace roadmap signed in Nairobi provides a good framework for further negotiations, and it is our firm expectation that the signatories will actively engage with their fellow citizens and other parties to the conflict, ensuring that the interests of all Sudanese are fully represented as they move forward,”

Kenya has also urged the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN), and other international partners to continue supporting Sudan's peace efforts. 

“Kenya stands ready to offer both technical and diplomatic support to Sudan, as our shared history, regional proximity, and common goals for peace and stability make this collaboration indispensable,” the statement reads. 

The peace roadmap signed in Nairobi provides a framework for further negotiations, with Kenya urging all Sudanese parties to remain committed to the process to ensure a peaceful and prosperous future for the people of Sudan.
