Kenya: Ruto Rejects 'Babysitting' Sudan Generals, Defends Neutral Role in Conflict

Nairobi — President William Ruto has intensified Kenya's criticism of Sudan's rival military factions, rejecting the continued "babysitting" of the country's fighting generals as the conflict pushes Sudan deeper into humanitarian catastrophe.

Speaking to France 24 on the sidelines of the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Ruto dismissed accusations by Sudan's military leadership that Kenya is siding with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemetti.

"[The claim of] siding with RSF is completely untrue," Ruto said, dismissing the allegations as "unverified claims" with no factual basis.
