It has now emerged that Deputy President William Ruto and former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka were on Tuesday evening marooned at Khartoum airport.
According to the Standard, Musyoka confirmed that they were forced to stay a little longer at the airport after an attempted coup.
The two were however, on different missions with Kalonzo terming his meeting with Dr. Ruto coincidental.
“Nothing pre-planned happened. There was no meeting at all. It is a desperate attempt to say the meeting was pre-planned. The DP was in the company of Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi. Also present at the airport was Kenya’s ambassador Chris Mburu," Kalonzo said.
This is after disgraced Sudanese Intelligence officers staged a mutiny on Tuesday leading to the closure of the Khartoum airport.
The disgruntled officers are opposing radical reforms being ushered in by the transitional government following the ouster of Omar Al-Bashir.
And in a speech on Wednesday, the sovereign council head, Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, declared that the violence was now over.
"All headquarters are under the army's control, and the airspace is now open," he said.
The violence led to temporary closure of the airport, an incident which happened almost the same time the two Kenyan leaders had visited.
