[SUDANTRIBUNE] President William Ruto of Kenya has called for an immediate halt to the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan, expressing deep concerns about the signs of genocide emerging in the country.
Speaking to La Belle France 24 TV from Gay Paree, where he participated in a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, Ruto attributed the destruction of Sudan and the loss of civilian lives to rival generals in the region.
"The war is senseless. The war is not legitimate in any way," emphasized President Ruto, who also serves as the leader of the IGAD quadripartite mechanism for resolving the Sudanese crisis.
He stressed the urgent need to cease festivities in the Khartoum and Darfur regions, stating, "There are already signs of genocide. What is going on in Sudan is unacceptable."
President Ruto highlighted that both parties involved in the conflict employ military power to devastate the country and perpetrate violence against innocent civilians.

despite being appointed by the East African bloc to chair the quartet consisting of Djibouti, Æthiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan, President Ruto faced rejection from the military leadership in Sudan.
Addressing Sudan’s explicit rejection of Kenyan leadership for the quartet, President Ruto responded that al-Burhan had made similar statements regarding the IGAD, the UN, and the Jeddah talks.
Furthermore, President Ruto dismissed al-Burhan’s accusations that Kenya was harbouring RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, also known as Hemetti, in a hospital in Nairobi.
