Egypt seeks mediation in Sudan
Egypt kicked off a series of dialogues with political forces in Sudan to help overcome the Sudanese crisis that erupted due to the military coup that toppled the civilian-led government in October.
Egypt has kicked off a series of meetings with Sudanese political forces in a bid to help weather the political crisis that has been facing Sudan, where a military coup has dissolved civilian rule.
This came a few weeks after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called Jan. 13 the Sudanese parties to start a dialogue to agree on a road map that would facilitate the democratic transition process in Sudan and hold elections that would allow the people to ultimately choose their leadership.
A high-level Egyptian delegation met with a number of leaders of Sudanese political parties during an unannounced visit in mid-February to the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
Al-Sudani local newspaper reported that the Egyptian delegation included senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Intelligence Service. However, Egypt did not announce the visit or comment on the nature of the delegation and the duration of its visit.
