Kenya's special envoy to South Sudan Kalonzo Musyoka on Saturday received President Uhuru Kenyatta in the neighbouring Khartoum for signing of a peace deal.
For several months now since the ouster of Omar Al Bashir, Sudan has been struggling to restore normalcy due to protests waged by the opposition who want the military council out.
"Earlier today with H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta as we attended the ceremony for signing the transitional period document between Forces for Freedom and Change and the Transitional Military Council at the historical Friendship Hall in Khartoum," Musyoka tweeted.
"Welcoming H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta for the signing of the transitional period document between Forces for Freedom and Change and the Transitional Military Council at the historical Friendship Hall in Khartoum," he added.
The agreement was signed by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, deputy chief of the military council, and Ahmed al-Rabie, representing the Alliance for Freedom and Change protest umbrella, an AFP reporter said.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and other leaders including Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Egypt's premier Mustafa Madbuli -- attended the ceremony in Khartoum, and the signing was met with applause.
It formalises the creation of a transition administration that will be guided by an 11-member sovereign council, comprised of six civilians and five military figures.
In June this year, military was accused of using excessive power, with dozens of protestors said to have been killed in the streets of Khartoum while pushing for change.
United Nations and African Union gave authorities an ultimatum to solve the situation, forcing friendly nations like Kenya to chip in and help restore peace and tranquility in the country.
