CAIRO — In a neutral diplomatic reaction to the coup carried out Oct. 25 by Sudanese army commander Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan that overthrew those overseeing the transition to civilian rule, Cairo called on the Sudanese to reach a national consensus without offering any mediation initiative or expressing support for any party in the conflict.
After Burhan declared a state of emergency, dissolved the government and the Transitional Sovereignty Council, and suspended some provisions of the Constitutional Document, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying, “Egypt is closely following the recent developments in Sudan, as the security and stability of Sudan are an integral part of the security and stability of Egypt and the region.”
