FM Abdelatty reaffirms Egypt support for Sudan's sovereignty and unity - Foreign Affairs
Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty reiterated on Wednesday Egypt's continued support for Sudan's sovereignty, national institutions, unity, and territorial integrity, as well as its rejection of any measures that threaten Sudan's unity. During a phone call with his Sudanese counterpart Omar Siddiq, Abdelatty reviewed Egypt's ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in Sudan, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Abdelatty also highlighted Cairo's efforts to preserve the Sudanese people's resources and Egypt's active role in the discussions within the framework of the International Quartet on Sudan. For his part, the Sudanese FM expressed his appreciation for Egypt's continued support of Sudan's sovereignty and security. He also aspired to enhance relations between the two nations. On Monday, the Egyptian National Railways Authority announced that it will operate a designated train to facilitate the return of Sudanese nationals and their families to their homeland. Egypt, a haven for refugees from neighbouring countries fleeing conflicts in recent years, currently accommodates the largest Sudanese refugee population, who have fled their country since the outbreak of intense conflict. Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a devastating conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The destructive war has plunged the nation into what the UN describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Egypt FM, US envoy discuss Gaza ceasefire push - Foreign Affairs
Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty and US President Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff discussed on Wednesday efforts to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza. During a phone call, both sides also discussed efforts to ensure the unconditioned entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the release of captives and detainees. They reviewed the joint efforts by the three guarantor parties ( Egypt, the US, and Qatar) to secure a ceasefire in Gaza by intensifying pressure to reach a deal as soon as possible. During the call, Abdelatty shed light on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza caused by the flagrant Israeli violations and starvation policies against the Palestinians in the strip. He also highlighted Egypt's efforts to facilitate the swift resumption of Iranian talks on its nuclear programme, both with the US and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The Egyptian FM's call came during his visit to Washington, DC, following participation in the UN international conference on the two-state solution in New York. The call also comes amid an expected visit by the US envoy to Israel. Since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Egypt has been actively mediating ceasefire efforts to halt the deadly war and end the humanitarian suffering of the Palestinian people in the besieged strip. On Friday, Cairo and Doha said in a joint statement that they are continuing to mediate efforts to halt the war in Gaza, end humanitarian suffering, and facilitate a captive-prisoner exchange. The Egyptian-Qatari confirmation came less than 24 hours after the US and Israel withdrew from indirect Gaza ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas in Doha.
