statement issued on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs said it had taken note \u201cwith concern\u201d of the SAF\u2019s communication to diplomatic missions, which it said wrongly shifts blame to Kenya for the \u201ctragic and unending conflict\u201d that has gripped Sudan for over two years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the human toll and infrastructure damage are heartbreaking, the protagonists continue to pursue their narrow interests with complete impunity,\u201d the Foreign Office said, referencing the Sudanese conflict that has left thousands dead, millions displaced, and millions more without access to humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<p>Reaffirming its position as a regional peacebuilder, Kenya emphasized that it has acted within the framework of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and other mechanisms to help mediate the crisis. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unrivalled credentials<\/h2>\n<p>The ministry noted that Kenyan officials have

credentials for peaceful conflict mediation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government also addressed recent claims related to a Sudanese opposition gathering in Nairobi, where a political roadmap was adopted by RSF and other opposition factions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe convening of this dialogue forum in our capital, Nairobi, or elsewhere on Kenya\u2019s territory, neither equates to endorsing any forum\u2019s outcome nor constitutes the formation of an exile government as has been alleged,\u201d the Foreign Office clarified.<\/p>\n<p>With the conflict in Sudan still unresolved, Kenya urged key international stakeholders to support a negotiated settlement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKenya therefore urges key players to the conflict in Sudan to find a pathway to peaceful resolution and end the bloodletting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, the international community has a duty under the UN Charter to protect human life, property and help silence the guns,\u201d the foreign ministry
