President Uhuru Kenyatta was one of the few presidents who remained close and openly showed their friendship to ousted Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir at his time of need.
Bashir was on Thursday wrestled out of power after 30 years in the top position where some of his top state officials arrested and political detainees set free.
On February 6, Uhuru assured him of full support from Kenya, at a time when protests were intensifying in most parts of the country, with citizens pushing for his exit.
Speaking when he met Bashir's Deputy Osman Mohammed Yousif at the Nairobi State House, Uhuru said that Kenya would help Bashir and Sudan regain their footing from the crisis.
“Kenya will continue to support Sudan as it manages its internal affairs because the sovereignty of all Igad (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) member states is something of great importance to us.
As a member of IGAD, Sudan is a pillar of stability in the region,” he was quoted by the Standard.
This came only four months after Uhuru and Bashir held bilateral talks at the Presidential Palace in Baringo where the two signed agreements about oil and petrol deals.
Bashir's ouster comes only days after the same happened to his Algerian counterpart Abdelaziz Bouteflika who was equally forced to resign after intense protests and demonstrations.
The Sudanese military has since taken over power and has announced that it will hand over back to a civilian leader after two years.
