Egypt is rallying world powers to end Sudan's escalating crisis as conflict enters its third year, with Cairo hosting high-stakes talks this week. Representatives from the African Union, UN, EU, and Arab League agreed on three urgent priorities: ceasefire implementation, humanitarian access, and preserving Sudan's territorial integrity.
"Red Lines" for Regional Stability
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi drew a hard line during meetings with US officials: "We will not accept Sudan's collapse – its unity and institutions are non-negotiable." Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty reinforced this stance, signaling readiness for "all required measures" to protect their southern neighbor.
Diplomatic Heat 🔥
The talks come amid rising tensions:
Saudi Arabia recently accused UAE of arming Sudan's Rapid Support Forces
Egypt claims new US backing for its mediation efforts
Over 7 million displaced since conflict began in 2023
UN envoy Ramtane Lamamra called the Cairo meeting "highly successful," noting growing consensus on peace conditions. But analyst Sara El Shalakany warns: "This isn't just neighborly concern – Sudan's instability directly threatens Egypt's water security and Red Sea trade routes."
What's Next? ⏳
With Arab League consultations ongoing since mid-2024, all eyes are on whether this new roadmap can achieve what previous attempts couldn't. As one delegate told us: "The clock is ticking louder than ever."
