Egypt weighs role as mediator in Sudan crisis
Egypt announced its support for the UN initiative to resolve the political crisis in Sudan and called for the quick formation of a government.
Egypt called on the parties to the political conflict in Sudan to take part in choosing a new, consensual transitional prime minister in preparation for the formation of a new Cabinet as soon as possible.
Egypt announced its support for a United Nations initiative for a dialogue between the political actors in Sudan, in a bid to reach a deal that ends the current political crisis. The initiative has been widely welcomed at the international level, including by the United States and the United Kingdom.
Sudan is struggling through its fragile transitional phase to a civilian democratic government, following the popular protests in April 2019 that overthrew a decadeslong dictatorship.
Egypt said that the dialogue between the political parties would solve the current crisis and prevent the country from slipping into chaos, according to a Jan. 8 statement by the Foreign Ministry.
