Kenya and the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to advancing peace and stability in Sudan, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said.
Speaking during a bilateral meeting with a U.S. delegation led by Peter Lord, Deputy Assistant Secretary for East Africa, Sudan, and South Sudan, Mudavadi emphasized the urgency of expediting peace efforts and supporting the pursuit of a unified Sudan.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the London–Sudan Conference at Lancaster House, where both parties expressed a shared commitment to regional peace.
“The U.S. acknowledged Kenya’s pivotal role in promoting peace in the region, particularly in the Great Lakes, and reaffirmed their support for ongoing peace initiatives in Sudan,” said Mudavadi.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary, who also serves as the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, was accompanied by Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, National Security Advisor Amb. Monica Juma, and High Commissioner Catherine Karembu.
Mudavadi is attending the London–Sudan Conference at the invitation of the UK government.
A statement from his office noted that he would articulate Kenya’s position on regional peace and security, especially regarding the conflict in Sudan, now entering its third year.
The ongoing violence has led to the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions, including women and children.
Since the outbreak of the conflict, Kenya has hosted key Sudanese stakeholders, including leaders from the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), special envoys, representatives from local communities, civil society, political parties, and armed groups, in a bid to foster dialogue and reconciliation.
Mudavadi reiterated Kenya’s support for a united Sudan, the need for a Sudanese-led political process, and the rejection of military solutions to political disagreements.
“Kenya believes in a peaceful, inclusive process led by the Sudanese people, with external actors offering support—not direction,” he said.
