CAIRO, Aug 9 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi held talks in Cairo with Sudan’s transitional Prime Minister Kamil Idris, where they discussed efforts to resolve the Sudanese crisis and restore stability in the country, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement.
“The two sides discussed efforts to settle the Sudanese crisis and achieve the aspirations of the Sudanese people for peace and stability,” the statement said.
Sisi reiterated “Egypt’s firm and supportive position on Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”
He also emphasised “Egypt’s full support for all efforts aimed at achieving security and stability in Sudan and ending the current humanitarian suffering, in a way that preserves the resources of the Sudanese people.”
The two sides also discussed avenues of cooperation between the two countries in the field of reconstruction in Sudan.
This is Idris’s first foreign visit since assuming office in May, as his country has been gripped by a deadly internal conflict since April 2023.
The deadly conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed tens of thousands and displaced several million people both internally and externally, triggering one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, according to the United Nations. – NNN-AGENCIES
