Ruto Holds Talks With Sudanese Paramilitary Leader Dagalo

President William Ruto on Wednesday held talks with Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces Leader, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo at State House, Nairobi.

Speaking on his X handle, Ruto said their discussions focused on the conflict in Sudan and how warring factions can come together and agree to negotiate a way out of the raging political disagreement.

Further, he expressed confidence that the ongoing Intergovernmental Authority on Development talks “should bring about a political settlement that would effect a lasting peace in the country.”
