Kenya's Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Korir Sing'oei, wanted to take on 'fake analysts' on Nairobi's controversial Sudan issue. But he found himself on the receiving end of a deepfake. On Friday morning, he apologised for using a fake CNN video that he intended to use as evidence of the support Kenya has gained for hosting Sudanese rebels.
In the wake of the controversy over the presence of the Rapid Support Forces representatives in Nairobi, Kenya had initially argued that it was providing good offices for dialogue. It had also argued that it was not violating Sudanese sovereignty.
