Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The President of Kenya, William Ruto, on Monday, met the Head of Sudan Supreme Council, General Abdel-Fattah Al Burhan, who had earlier rejected Kenya\u2019s mediation role in ending the war in Sudan.<\/p>\n

In the meeting held at State House, Nairobi, the two leaders agreed on key contention points, including Ruto\u2019s continued chairing of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) quartet.<\/p>\n

According to Kenya\u2019s media, the State House also confirmed that the duo agreed on a framework to bring peace to the troubled nation.<\/p>\n

The framework aims to mediate a ceasefire between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) led by Al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) headed by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two leaders reviewed the state of ongoing peace initiatives, including the Jeddah and the IGAD peace process,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n

In October, the two warring factions in Sudan agreed to have peace talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan\u2019s faction rejected Ruto\u2019s appointment as IGAD\u2019s lead negotiator.<\/p>\n

Despite the Al-Burhan and Dagalo meeting in the Middle East, the duo failed to signal a truce seven months after the start of the civil war.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two leaders underscored the urgent need to find a solution for the conflict in Sudan in the shortest time possible,\u201d Kenya and Sudan agreed on taking the talks away from Jeddah and back to the continent.<\/p>\n

Ruto and Al-Burhan regretted the slow progress witnessed in Jeddah and explored ways to accelerate the process towards cessation of hostilities and enhancement of humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Al-Burhan conceded to having Kenya lead the peace talks under President William Ruto, a position he had previously rejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders agreed to work towards the convening of an urgent IGAD Summit to find ways to accelerate the Jeddah process towards cessation of hostilities,\u201d the statement read in part.<\/p>\n

In the earlier disagreement, Al-Burhan had accused President William Ruto of aligning with his rival, General Dagalo.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he dropped the reservations and agreed that the Summit would work for an all-inclusive Sudanese dialogue.<\/p>\n
