Sudan and Egypt reaffirmed the vital role of the Quartet, comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, as the primary framework for ending Sudan\u2019s war and restoring stability. The announcement came following a meeting in Cairo yesterday between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Lieutenant General Abdelfattah El Burhan, Head of the Sovereignty Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both leaders they expressed hope that the\u00a0Quartet\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0upcoming summit in Washington D.C. later this month would yield tangible progress towards a ceasefire and a comprehensive political settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Egyptian Presidential Spokesperson and Ambassador Mohamed Al-Shennawy, both leaders underlined their countries\u2019 commitment to coordinated regional efforts that preserve Sudan\u2019s unity and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Burhan arrived in the Egyptian capital for a one-day official visit, accompanied by Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem and Intelligence Chief Lt Gen Ahmed Ibrahim Muhafib. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation met with President El Sisi at the Federal Palace, joined by Egypt\u2019s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Intelligence Chief Maj Gen Hassan Rashad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions focused on the escalating conflict in Sudan, the dire humanitarian situation in cities such as El Fasher, and the growing international\u00a0push for peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Al-Shennawy ,said the talks also addressed the Nile waters issue, with both sides rejecting any unilateral measures on the Blue Nile that violate international law, a clear reference to Ethiopia\u2019s controversial\u00a0Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam<\/a>\u00a0(GERD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President El Sisi reaffirmed Egypt\u2019s unwavering support for Sudan\u2019s sovereignty and national cohesion, warning against any efforts to fragment the country or establish parallel authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Burhan echoed those sentiments, stressing the alignment of Sudanese and Egyptian interests on the Nile dispute and pledging closer coordination to defend shared water rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US mediation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cairo summit followed discussions between\u00a0US President Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0and President El Sisi earlier this week, during which both leaders reportedly reviewed the situation in Sudan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s senior adviser on Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, told reporters that Washington is considering tougher measures if humanitarian aid continues to be blocked from reaching besieged areas such as El Fasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boulos added that the United States plans to revive mediation efforts on the\u00a0GERD issue<\/a>\u00a0and acknowledged Sudan\u2019s recent steps to distance itself from Iran and curb extremist remnants from the former regime, moves he described as \u201cpositive signs\u201d for improving relations with Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudanese response<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking after returning to Port Sudan from Cairo, Foreign Minister Mohieddin Salem said President El had assured his country\u2019s readiness to \u201cdo everything possible to restore normal life in Sudan and achieve lasting peace.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salem added that both leaders viewed the recent Gaza ceasefire initiative brokered by President Trump as a potential model for broader regional stability, including in Sudan.<\/p>\n
