The government has issued a statement on the ongoing Sudan crisis after Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Kenya of siding with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

On Tuesday, February 18, the RSF held an event in Nairobi as a head start towards forming an alliance consisting of political players and armed groups to strengthen the RSF's dominance in Sudan.

The meeting led to criticism from the Sudanese government, which claimed the event contradicted Kenya's commitment to ending violence in Sudan.

However, the government, through the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary, issued a rejoinder on Wednesday evening, refuting claims that it had taken sides in the 22-month conflict between the Sudanese government and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
