What you need to know:

  • IGAD is leading diplomatic efforts to broker a meeting between Daglo and Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
  • The Rapid Support Forces leader has previously visited Djibouti, Ethiopia and Uganda on his regional tour.

The leader of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) held talks with President William Ruto of Kenya on Wednesday amid regional diplomatic efforts to try to forge a ceasefire in the war at home.

Kenya is the latest leg of Mohamed Hamdan Daglo's first trip abroad since the fierce fighting erupted between the RSF and the Sudanese army in mid-April.
