السيسي للبرهان: مستمرون في الدفع نحو حل سياسي لإنهاء الحرب

The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reaffirmed Cairo's steadfast position supporting Sudan's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and its continued push for a political solution to the current crisis and the end of the war.

During a meeting with the Chairman of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, in El-Alamein, on the sidelines of the eighth African Union coordination meeting (on Sunday), El-Sisi emphasized the necessity of preserving the unity of Sudan's national institutions, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency.

The spokesperson for the Egyptian presidency, Mohamed El-Shenawy, stated that the meeting addressed the developments in Sudan, where El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's support for the Sudanese people and its commitment to maintaining the unity of the country, its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national institutions. The Egyptian president confirmed that his country would continue to exert efforts at both the regional and international levels to push for a political solution to the crisis and contribute to ending the war, alleviating the humanitarian suffering of Sudanese people, paving the way for restoring security and stability, and starting a phase of reconstruction and development.

For his part, Al-Burhan expressed his appreciation for Egypt's supportive positions towards Sudan, considering them a reflection of the unique historical relations between the two countries, according to the statement from the Egyptian presidency. He praised the political and humanitarian support provided by Cairo, as well as its hosting of a large number of Sudanese who left their country due to the war. Al-Burhan emphasized, according to the statement, the importance of not equating the legitimate Sudanese state institutions with the rebel militias or parallel entities, valuing Cairo's stance in this regard.

The discussions between El-Sisi and Al-Burhan also touched on bilateral relations and ways to enhance cooperation between Egypt and Sudan. El-Sisi confirmed Cairo's keenness to continue providing support to Sudan in various fields and to work on expanding cooperation frameworks to achieve the common interests of the two countries. This meeting comes amid ongoing regional and international efforts aimed at stopping the Sudanese war and addressing its humanitarian repercussions, while Cairo maintains, according to its declared position, the unity of Sudan's state institutions and rejects any path that could undermine the country's unity or territorial integrity.
