Kenya’s diplomatic mission in Sudan closed as clashes intensify

The diplomatic mission of Kenya in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, has been closed as clashes intensify between the rival military forces.

The foreign ministry said the mission had remained open to support the evacuation of Kenyan citizens, but was now closed as it had come under threat from the fighting.

Nairobi has been supporting African initiatives to end the conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
