A British national has been killed in Kenya after being hit by a vehicle in the president’s motorcade. Edgar Charles Frederick, 79, was trying to cross a busy road in Nairobi when he was knocked over by a government vehicle of President William Ruto's motorcade.

Sudan has suspended all imports from Kenya in protest after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), who are fighting the army in a two-year civil war, were hosted in Nairobi. Last month, the RSF and its allied political and armed groups signed a founding charter in Kenya expressing the intention to form a parallel government in Sudan.

The Republic of Sudan has imposed a ban on all imports from Kenya following the hosting of the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) by the latter in Nairobi. This comes days after Sudan’s Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Hussein al-Amin in February said that the government would take escalatory measures against Kenya for its relations with RSF.
