President William Ruto spoke with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the phone on Tuesday evening to discuss the tense political situation in the Eastern Africa region.
According to information from the US Bureau of African Affairs, the two leaders held talks on regional security, focusing on developments in Somalia and South Sudan, which have, in recent weeks, been in political turmoil.
The turmoil in the two countries has threatened to spill over into other neighbouring nations as the situation continues to intensify.
During the talks, Rubio hailed Ruto for his leadership efforts as the Chairperson of the East African Community (EAC) in championing a return to normalcy through dialogue with the conflicting parties.
