Ruto in a media dispatch commends Uhuru over the peace deal
Ruto in a media dispatch commends Uhuru for delivering Ethiopia – Tigray peace deal during negotiations in South Africa.
On Wednesday, November 2, President William Ruto praised his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta for successfully delivering his first international job
In a statement from the State House, Ruto praised Uhuru for mediating a cease-fire that put an end to a two-year civil war in neighboring Ethiopia.
Uhuru was part of the delegation that successfully negotiated a cease-fire between Tigrayan leaders and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
“I commend the AU High Representative for the Horn of Africa Olusegun Obasanjo, Uhuru Kenyatta, and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuke for their facilitation and tireless efforts, wisdom, patience, and unity of purpose that brought this day of peace that heralds a bright future for the people of Ethiopia,” Ruto remarked.
Ruto saluted the Ethiopian leaders for their resolve reaffirming Kenya’s support for peace and security in the country.
“I salute the great people of Ethiopia, for whom I wish an era of cohesion, integration, and reconciliation. The mutual agreement will create the necessary environment to nurture durable peace and political stability in Ethiopia,” the statement read in part.
Speaking to the media after the pact between Abiy and the Tigray Leadership was confirmed, the mediating team maintained that the panel had only one message to the conflicting leaders.
“Violence bullets and guns will not be the solution. Ultimately, as has been the case with waring Ethiopian parties today.
“The lasting solution can only come through political dialogue: people sitting, engaging and agreeing that they have differences, and accommodate the diversities while still remaining a united Ethiopia or still a united Africa,” the delegation stated.
