Kenya is likely to be mentioned in a case filed by Sudan at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) over alleged complicity in crimes against humanity committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Darfur.

Two months ago, Sudan lodged a strong protest, accusing Kenya of supporting the RSF and its activities, including the alleged establishment of a parallel government in Nairobi.
