CAIRO — As part of efforts to promote dialogue with Sudanese civil parties, an Egyptian civil society delegation — comprised of political, economic, academic and diplomatic figures — headed to Khartoum May 10 to begin an Egyptian-Sudanese civil dialogue, the first of its kind since the outbreak of the Sudanese revolution in December 2019 and the ousting of the Islamist-oriented Omar al-Bashir regime.
The Egyptian civil society delegation said in a press statement, “Global developments are pushing for building regional alliances and cross-border blocs that achieve the common interests of peoples. It is time to prioritize a rational view of the future instead of retracing the past, by setting an advanced agenda for a more mature dialogue, especially since the two [Egyptian and Sudanese] peoples are going through an exceptional period where they are struggling to build a new state based on the values of democracy, justice, citizenship and equality.”
