President William Ruto has urged warring parties in the Sudan conflict to engage in genuine and inclusive dialogue to achieve peace.

The President emphasised that a political crisis like the Sudan conflict should be resolved through dialogue rather than military means.

He also called on external actors supporting the warring parties to refrain from actions that further endanger the lives and future of the Sudanese people. "Only through collective commitment and decisive action can we help restore stability and hope for a peaceful future in Sudan," he said.

He made the remarks Friday during a High-Level Humanitarian Conference for the People of Sudan in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, attended by, among others, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.
