Kenya is greatly concerned about the developing crisis situation in Sudan. I implore all parties to address any differences through peaceful means for the sake of the security of the people of Sudan and stability in the country and the region, especially during this holy month of Ramadhan. The outbreak of violence will only reverse the important gains Sudan has made, to the detriment of its lasting peace and prosperity.

Kenya and the IGAD states are available and ready to contribute to the resolution of this unfortunate situation. I am actively consulting with the regional leadership and other relevant international partners to seek ways to support dialogue and mediation in Sudan.
