Kenya has for many years been seen as a peaceful country that helps solve problems in Africa. It was often trusted to mediate between warring countries.
However, this image is now being questioned after shocking reports linked Kenya to the brutal war in Sudan. These reports suggest that Kenya is no longer neutral and may actually be helping one side in the conflict.
As reported by The Standard, evidence from UN intelligence, Sudanese government files, war reporters, and experts now points to Kenya as a possible supporter of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a Sudanese militia accused of genocide.
This mess began after a confidential United Nations report was presented to the Security Council. The report showed that planes carrying weapons from Abu Dhabi were landing in Kenyan airports before continuing their journey to RSF-controlled areas in eastern Chad.
Kenya’s airspace and airports are said to be playing a key role in this arms delivery system. The report clearly stated that Kenya has “lost its impartiality” and is helping a group accused of serious crimes by allowing such secret movements through its territory.
More information came from a Sudanese government document titled UAE’s Proxy War in Sudan: “Exploiting Natural Resources and Committing Genocide”.
The document directly blames the Kenyan government under President William Ruto for being part of these activities, whether knowingly or unknowingly. It further accuses Kenya of being part of a larger plan led by the UAE to create a new government in the Darfur region of Sudan.
This plan could break Sudan apart and destroy Kenya’s credibility as a peace broker in the region.Things became even more serious after a deadly airstrike on May 3 at Nyala Airport in South Darfur.
A plane suspected of carrying high-level weapons such as suicide drones, radar tools, and bullets was destroyed in the strike. The pilot of the plane was a Kenyan named Captain George Nyamodi.
Investigations revealed that the aircraft had previously been registered in Kenya with the number 5Y-CIG but was later removed from the official registry by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority.
Its final journey had several stops in Kenya, which strengthens the claims that the country is being used as a key stopover point in the supply of arms.The attack killed seventy RSF fighters and eighteen foreign nationals, including Kenyans and South Sudanese.
This has raised even more questions about Kenya’s role in this war. Many now wonder if Kenya is truly working for peace or if it has become part of a secret and dangerous plan that is hurting Sudan and affecting its own reputation.
The growing body of evidence is pushing international observers to demand answers and accountability. What was once a respected mediator in East Africa is now being painted as a silent partner in a deadly conflict.
