At least 3,000 Kenyans are stuck in Sudan amid the ongoing turmoil in the country, Foreign and Diaspora Affairs CS Alfred Mutua has said.
The CS made the revelation on Sunday as reports indicated that the fighting in Sudan is escalating.
Mutua, however, noted that the government is working on evacuating Kenyans to safety if the situation worsens.
"We are calling on our people that if you go job hunting in other countries, ensure you register with our embassies. We are in touch with our Embassy in Sudan and we will help Kenyans stuck there due to the ongoing war," Mutua said.
The CS spoke during the Lower Eastern interdenominational prayers in Machakos County on Sunday.
Fighting erupted on Saturday over a power struggle between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) with a doctors' committee reporting that at least 56 civilians have been killed.
The committee said dozens of military personnel have also died while at least 595 people are injured.
Army Generals have been running Sudan since the coup that ousted former President Omar el Bashir in October 2021.
The army has refused to cede power and pave way for a civilian regime insisting that the notorious RSF be dissolved.
Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, has said the fighting will continue until all army bases are captured.
Troops loyal to Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the de facto leader, are battling Hemedti's fighters particularly in Khartoum.
Both sides have claimed that they have control of the airport, presidential palace and key installations in Khartoum, where fighting continued overnight.
Several airlines have suspended flights to Khartoum, some bridges and roads remain closed as contend with panic and fear amid the fighting.
Regional and international leaders have called for ceasefire and urged the warring factions to embrace dialogue.
