Hemedti whose Rapid Support Forces have been at war with
the regular army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan since April, has been touring
African capitals on his first visit abroad of the conflict.
He already visited Uganda, Ethiopia and Djibouti as well as
Kenya and is currently in South Africa, to the anger of General Burhan, whose
administration has lost ground to the paramilitaries in recent months and is
eager to deny them In a statement carried by the official SUNA news agency,
Sudan's acting foreign minister Ali al-Sadiq said the ambassador had been
recalled "for consultations in protest of the official reception organised
by the Kenyan government for the leader of the rebel militia".
He said those consultations would "cover all
possibilities for the outcome of Sudan's relations with Kenya".
Ties between Burhan and the Kenyan government have been
strained for months, as Nairobi has sought to keep lines of communication open
with Daglo so it can mediate the conflict.
