Will Sudan hand over Islamists to Egypt?
During a recent meeting, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhan, discussed the handover of members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood to Cairo.
CAIRO — Discussions on the fight against terrorism and the handover of members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood to Cairo overshadowed the latest meeting held on Oct. 27, between Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhan, in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
Hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members fled to Sudan after the overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013 — although there are no official numbers. Soon after, Egypt declared the organization a terrorist group, launched a crackdown on its supporters and put thousands of them on trial for terrorism-related charges.
