Sudan's military government has protested to the regional bloc, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), accusing it of inserting issues proposed by Kenya's President William Ruto outside an official meeting in a communique released on Sunday.

The bloc had met in Djibouti on Saturday to discuss the raging conflict in Sudan between the Sudan Armed Forces (Saf) led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdani Daglo 'Hemedti'.
