Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo discussed the conflict in Sudan with a Kenyan leader, William Ruto, in Nairobi on Wednesday and presented a plan for a comprehensive solution, Dagalo wrote in X.
"It was a pleasure to meet with Kenyan President Dr. William Ruto. Our discussion focused on the recent developments in Sudan, examining the root causes of the war and exploring solutions to alleviate the crisis and the suffering of our people," he noted.
The RSF leader also emphasized Ruto's willingness to work with all parties to the conflict in the North African country.
"I was encouraged by the Kenyan president's understanding and readiness to work with all parties involved in the Sudan crisis. His willingness to collaborate is a hopeful sign toward restoring security and stability in Sudan," Dagalo pointed out.
The head of the paramilitary added that he presented RSF strategy to cease hostilities and start negotiations for a comprehensive resolution. Dagalo also expressed appreciation for Kenya's and IGAD's "substantial efforts to help bring an end to this conflict."

Last week, in his second appearance outside Sudan since the conflict between the militias and the Sudanese army began in mid-April, Dagalo met with Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen.
In turn, the head of the Sudanese army, which is in confrontation with the RSF, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, recently said that welcoming any Sudanese party that does not recognize the existing government is considered "clear hostility towards Sudan."
Clashes between Sudan's regular armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Force erupted on April 15, with the epicenter in the capital Khartoum. Since then, the parties have introduced a series of temporary nationwide ceasefires, but the conflict has yet to be resolved.
