Kenya ‘disassociates’ from DR Congo rebels alliance after diplomatic row

Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi on Sunday cleared his Ministry name from involvement in a Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) rebel groups alliance that was launched in Nairobi.

In a statement, the CS noted that Kenya had not played a part in the meeting neither did the state, headed by President William Ruto, facilitate the press conference that saw the reports get to the press.

The move comes just a day after the DRC expressed disappointment that the opposition figure announced his subversive movement in Kenya, despite the fact that Kenya is working with DRC to restore peace to the east of the country.

The Prime Cabinet Secretary also made it clear that Kenya had no involvement in the meeting.

“Kenya further affirms its non-involvement in the internal affairs of DRC and commits to continue supporting the peace, security, and democratic consolidation of the country,” said the CS.
