Egypt considers the division of Sudan a “red line,” the Egyptian foreign minister said, emphasising the country’s firm stance on Sudan’s unity, stability, and territorial integrity, reports Anadolu Agency.
A brutal conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023 has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions of others.
BadrAbdelatty, speaking to Al Sharq News late on Mar. 14, expressed Egypt’s “unwavering support for Sudan’s national institutions.”
“We are deeply concerned about Sudan’s unity, its stability, and the integrity of its territories. This is a red line for us, and we cannot accept it under any circumstances,” he said.
Abdelatty highlighted Egypt’s position against any proposals that aim to create parallel political structures, asserting full support for Sudan.
Last month, the RSF and its allies sought to form a parallel government, and a political event was held in Nairobi.
Regarding Gaza and the US plans to displace Palestinians, Abdelatty commented on the evolving US stance, particularly the latest remarks of US President Donald Trump.Trump on Mar. 12 said “nobody is expelling any Palestinians” from the enclave, a significant development that Egypt welcomed.
Abdelatty also confirmed that a conference on the reconstruction of Gaza, which Cairo is set to host, is planned for late April.He expressed “optimism about financial commitments” from donor countries.
