The Sudanese government has threatened escalatory measures against Kenya over allegations of interfering in its internal affairs after it hosted the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a rebel group currently battling the Sudanese army for control of the country.

Addressing journalists on Monday, February 24, Sudan's Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, Hussein Al Fadil, said the country was considering imposing severe regulations, including banning Kenyan imports from accessing the Sudanese market.

Al Fadil stated that Sudan would also be submitting a formal complaint to the African Union (AU) and other top international organisations to compel them to take stern action against President William Ruto's administration. "This is due to its interference in Sudan's internal affairs and hosting events for the terrorist RSF militia and its allies, which target Sudan's security, stability, and unity," Al Fadil said.
