Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta and special envoy Kalonzo Musyoka were among the leaders who witnessed the signing of a transitional document between Sudan's military and protest leaders on April 11, 2019.

The signing of the document marked a significant step towards a transition from military to civilian rule in Sudan, a key demand of the protesters.

According to a tweet by Kalonzo on August 17, 2019, the military and protest leaders had signed a deal to guide a smooth transition after the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir.

"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," Kalonzo said.

Other leaders who attended the ceremony included Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Egypt's premier Mustafa Madbuli.

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.
