Next Thursday, the Egyptian capital, Cairo, will host a meeting of Sudan’s neighbouring countries to discuss the resolution of the ongoing conflict in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.
Egypt has affirmed that, in light of the current crisis in Sudan and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s commitment to formulating a common vision among Sudan’s direct neighboring countries, a meeting has been scheduled for next Thursday in Cairo to discuss steps to resolve the crisis and stem the bloodshed of the Sudanese people.
The meeting will address sparing the Sudanese people the negative repercussions they are experiencing, preserving the Sudanese state and its capabilities, and mitigating the serious effects of the crisis on neighboring countries and the overall regional security and stability.
The meeting will also explore ways to end the current conflict in Sudan and its negative implications for neighboring countries, and establish effective mechanisms involving neighboring countries to peacefully resolve the crisis in coordination with other regional and international avenues.
Since April 15th, Sudan has been witnessing clashes between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemetti.”
The ongoing conflict in the country has resulted in the death of over 2,800 people and the displacement of more than 2.8 million individuals, including over 600,000 who sought refuge in neighboring countries, particularly northwards towards Egypt and westwards towards Chad, according to data from the International Organization for Migration.
