Egypt has called for intensified regional and international efforts to establish safe corridors for humanitarian aid to reach Sudan, in order to support its people and assist its national institutions. The call was made by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty during his meeting with members of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee on the sidelines of his visit to Berlin.
Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s firm and consistent position in support of Sudan’s security, stability, unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
He also outlined Egypt’s efforts to resolve the crisis within the framework of the Quad mechanism aimed at achieving a ceasefire and creating the conditions necessary for launching an inclusive political process that preserves Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and stability.
The Quad mechanism—comprising Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and the United States—works to secure a ceasefire in Sudan. It previously held a ministerial-level meeting in Washington last September, where it emphasized the need to exert all efforts to resolve the armed conflict in Sudan.
In August, the Quad also proposed a roadmap calling for a three-month humanitarian truce, to be followed by a permanent ceasefire leading to the start of a political process and the formation of an independent civilian government within nine months.
