President Salva Kiir on Monday cautioned foreign actors against interfering in the internal affairs of the Sudan and called for internal efforts to resolve the weeks of deadly fighting in Khartoum and other cities.

Kiir made the remarks after meeting Sudan’s special envoy, Dafallah al Haj who briefed him on the ongoing engagements to forge a truce in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

According to the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Sudanese envoy is in Juba to deliberate on President Kiir’s efforts to end the fighting in Sudan.

Deng Dau Deng said Kiir reiterated his commitment to mediate between the warring parties.

“His Excellency the President has cautioned those who want to interfere on the internal affairs of the Sudan, that it is only internal solution that can resolve the internal problem in the Sudan,” Dau said to reporters after the meeting.

“His Excellency on his side thanked President Burhan for having responded to his request of sending people to Juba, but also on sending face-to-face pre-negotiation on what is happening now in Jedah and the respect of the cessation of hostility that the President had asked on the 4^th of May to 11^th of May.”

“I also explained to the President that we have accepted the truce for humanitarian reason, and we also want South Sudan to be one of the mediators during this truce period, because South Sudan is closer to us, and that the country, among other friendly countries have our trust.”
