Egypt is seeking to join efforts with Sudan to confront the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist groups and ideas through several security and religious steps. In this context, the joint training course for imams of Egypt and Sudan kicked off in Cairo on Dec. 20 to confront extremist ideas.
Sudanese Minister of Religious Affairs and Endowments Nasr al-Din Mufreh stressed Dec. 21 during his speech at the opening of the joint training course at Cairo’s International Awqaf Academy for the training of imams and preachers that “the goal of the program is to train Sudan’s imams to promote peace, prevent war, fight extremism and work toward strengthening the principle of citizenship.”
