Kenya has strongly hit back at the government of Sudan following fresh accusations by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) alleging Nairobi's interference in Khartoum's internal affairs.

In a statement issued by the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary, Musalia Mudavadi and signed by Strategic Communication Secretary Peter Warutere, Kenya termed the claims unsubstantiated, regrettable, and inconsistent with the principles of good neighbourliness and mutual respect.

The Kenyan government warned that such reckless accusations risk destabilising the region and undermining the Pan-African fraternity that binds states across the continent. ''Kenya considers the continued and unsubstantiated allegations by the SAF administration to be not only regrettable but also inconsistent with the principles of good neighbourliness and mutual respect that underpin the Charter of the United Nations and the Constitutive Act of the African Union.

Such reckless actions risk undermining regional peace and stability and are unbecoming of the fraternal Pan-African relations traditionally shared among states in the region,'' the statement read in part.  President William Ruto (right) when he held talks with the leader of Rapid Support Forces Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo at State House, Nairobi on January 3, 2023.
