The Egyptian Parliament’s Committee on Arab Affairs issued a stark warning about the dangers of armed and terrorist elements crossing into Sudan, potentially plunging the country into further catastrophic chaos.
This situation is exacerbated by the increased activity in arms trade and the continuing dire political and economic conditions.
The committee emphasized that neither of the conflicting parties in Sudan – the military and the Rapid Support Forces – has been able to decisively end the war, leaving the conflict open to all possibilities and dangerous scenarios.
Ahmed Fouad Abaza, the head of the Committee on Arab Affairs in the Egyptian Parliament, expressed serious concerns about the prolonged conflict in Sudan, especially following the failure of all peace negotiations to reach an agreement to end the war.
With no victor emerging and dangerous escalations from both sides, Abaza indicated that the war is likely to continue for an extended period without any imminent agreement to resolve it.
This stalemate is attributed to the lack of will and intentions among the conflicting parties to find solutions, leading to widespread frustration among the Sudanese people, both domestically and abroad.
In his statement during the meeting, Abaza highlighted that the Sudanese war has displaced over three million Sudanese, with more than 700,000 fleeing to neighboring countries.
The conflict has also devastated the infrastructure of many Sudanese cities and intensified internal conflicts, particularly in the fragile region of Darfur.
Abaza noted that the recent war in Gaza has shifted Arab and international media attention away from the Sudanese conflict, given the particular significance of Palestine at the Arab and Islamic levels.
