He affirmed his nation’s readiness to “play a positive role to bring about calm and restore security and stability in Sudan.”

“It is imperative for the conflicting Sudanese parties to sit at the negotiating table … to spare Sudan from further deterioration,” the Egyptian president mentioned.

“We are in contact with the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in order to encourage a cease-fire, leading to negotiations to restore initial stability,” he added.

Al-Sisi identified that “the emphasis is on the security and safety of Egyptian soldiers in Sudan.”

The Egyptian military introduced Saturday {that a} group of its troopers had been “conducting joint training with their counterparts in Sudan, and coordination is underway to secure them.”

Al-Sisi burdened that the Egyptian troopers “were present in accordance with the protocol for joint training, and not to support or turn one party against another.”

Fighting erupted Saturday between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary RSF within the capital Khartoum and its environment.

More than 180 folks have been killed and 1,800 injured in latest clashes between the army rivals, in keeping with the UN.
