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.
