Prime CS Mudavadi in UK for London-Sudan conference
The forum aims to support peace efforts in Sudan, a country that has been gripped by a brutal conflict since mid-April 2023.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who also serves as Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is currently in London, United Kingdom, where he is attending the London-Sudan Conference.
The forum aims to support peace efforts in Sudan, a country that has been gripped by a brutal conflict since mid-April 2023.
The fighting, which involves the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has resulted in the deaths of at least 29,683 people, according to official reports.
In a statement released on Sunday, April 13, 2025, the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary and Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs confirmed that Musalia Mudavadi is in London at the invitation of the United Kingdom government.
"Following the invitation of the UK government, Dr Mudavadi will present Kenya’s position on regional peace and security in the Greater Horn of Africa, particularly the conflict-ridden Sudan, which is now entering its third year unabated and has led to thousands of deaths and millions of people, including women and children, displaced," the statement read.
The statement also noted that since the conflict began, Kenya has welcomed every key Sudanese stakeholder from both sides of the divide including top Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leaders, special envoys for the parties, representatives of local communities, civil society and political parties in a bid to bring an end to the war.
"During the meeting, Dr. Mudavadi will affirm that Kenya supports a unified Sudan for the people of Sudan, advocates for a Sudanese-owned political process with the supportive role of external actors, and Kenya's opposition to using military solutions to address a political dispute," adds the statement.
He will also advocate for respect and working through African institutions established by member states, including IGAD, the African Union, EAC, and SADC, among others, for a peace process and discourage members engaged in forum shopping opting to choose methods that suit their selfish interests rather than the common good.
