On Monday, Hussein Awad, the foreign minister of Sudan, and Badr Abdel-Aty, the foreign minister of Egypt, expressed about initiatives to end the current crisis in Sudan. The Arab League’s initiatives and the Geneva process are examples of these attempts.
The Egyptian government is making a concerted effort to become more involved in the settlement of the Sudanese conflict. In spite of the United Arab Emirates’ engagement in mediation efforts, it has collaborated with the U.S. administration to urge the Sudanese government to take part in peace negotiations.
According to a spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdel-Aty gave the top diplomat from Sudan who was visiting an outline of Egypt’s participation in the Geneva talks, including their evaluation of the events and continuous efforts to resolve the situation in Sudan.
The spokesperson went on to say that the agenda items pertaining to Sudan that were set for the September 10th Arab League meeting will be discussed by both sides.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, praised Egypt’s diplomatic efforts in persuading Sudan to participate in talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire and providing aid to civilians in areas affected by conflict.
According to the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, Awad gave the Egyptian minister an update on the government’s plans to bring stability back to Sudan, as well as how to open border crossings and make it easier to provide aid to those in need.
The Sudanese statement underlined the importance of coordinating initiatives and encouraging Arab unity through the Arab League.
In the statement, Awad also emphasized how crucial it is for the Arab League to stand in solidarity with Sudan as it works to protect its safety, territorial integrity, and legitimate rights by expressing support for the Sudanese government through its actions and declarations made at summits and regular meetings.
