Egypt reveals regional contacts to end conflict in Sudan

Cairo, Aug 7 (Prensa Latina) Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry revealed that regional contacts with the warring parties in Sudan to achieve a ceasefire have been unsuccessful so far, although he affirmed that work is being done to end the crisis.

“We are interacting, although there are still no tangible results,” the foreign minister said in an interview in N’Djamena, Chad, where he traveled to participate in the first meeting of the mechanism created after the summit of neighboring countries of Sudan, held in Cairo last month.

“Our vision regarding the crisis includes working for the benefit of the Sudanese people and preserving state institutions,” he stressed.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi recently reiterated his government’s support for Sudan’s territorial integrity and called on the warring parties to hold talks in order to end the fighting.

Both El-Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry have stressed on several occasions that the conflict is an internal matter and therefore called for avoiding any interference in Sudan.

Last month, during the summit, several African leaders warned about the regional consequences of the clashes.
