Sudan maintains ban on all imports from Kenya amid growing tensions

Sudan says its ban on all Kenyan imports remains in place, dismissing any speculations that it had been relaxed.

The Sudanese embassy in Nairobi issued a statement on Tuesday saying ''Sudan remains firmly committed'' to upholding the ban as part of its ''sovereign economic and diplomatic considerations''.

Sudan had announced an embargo on all imports from Kenya due to Nairobi's hosting of meetings of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies, who have been engaged in a war with the Sudanese army.
