Nairobi has firmly rejected accusations by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) that Nairobi is responsible for fuelling the conflict in Sudan, dismissing the claims as unfounded and misleading.

In a strongly-worded statement on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted a circular issued by SAF to diplomatic and consular missions worldwide, denouncing it as a baseless attempt to shift blame amid the ongoing crisis.
