Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has been disowned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on his controversial remarks over the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
Kuria stalked diplomatic tiff after arguing on Twitter that African nations’ militaries should consider invading Sudan in order to restore peace and democracy in the oil-rich nation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has clarified that Kuria’s remarks are his own.
“The personal views expressed by Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria do not represent government policy on this complex and challenging issue. We continue to work with all parties toward a peaceful resolution of the Sudan crisis,” Sing’Oei clarified.
On Saturday, May 13, Trade CS Moses Kuria claimed that the easiest way to restore peace and tranquility in Sudanwas through a military invasion that will culminate into a power takeover.
In Kuria’s wisdom, a military incursion will culminate into a possible peaceful breakthrough that will ensure that the power is handed over back to the Sudanese civilians through a democratic process.
“The Sudan lesson is simple. The community of nations should militarily invade any country where armies overthrow the government.
“Appeasement does not pay off. Military juntas do not become democrats simply because of the false principle of non-interference. The AU can Marshall a strong enough army to bomb Khartoum to smithereens,” Moses Kuria.
The 2023 Sudan conflict is an ongoing armed conflict between rival factions of the military government of Sudan. The unrest began on April 15, when clashes broke out in western Sudan, the capital city of Khartoum and the Darfur region.
As of May 9, at least 200 people had been killed and more than 5,100 others had been injured in a conflict that is currently being mediated in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
