KHARTOUM - Sudan recalled its ambassador from Kenya on Thursday in protest against Nairobi's hosting of meetings that involved the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied political forces, Sudan's official SUNA news agency reported.

"The Foreign Ministry summoned Sudan's Ambassador to Kenya Kamal Jubara for consultations in response to Kenya's hosting of meetings involving the RSF militia and its allies, in yet another hostile move against Sudan," the report said.

The ministry slammed the Kenyan government's decision to host the meetings, deeming it a violation of Sudan's sovereignty and national security.

It also warned that the move "poses a grave threat to regional peace and security, as well as to the strong relations featuring good neighborliness among countries in the region."

Sudan's opposition groups, including the RSF, held talks in Nairobi on Tuesday to sign the Sudan Founding Charter, a political pact aimed at establishing a parallel civilian government in Sudan.

Analysts expected that the talks could lead to the formation of an alternative administrative structure in RSF-controlled areas in Sudan. The RSF has been at war with the Sudanese Armed Forces for nearly two years, resulting in significant casualties and the displacement of millions.
