Egypt, Sudan, and U.S. hold talks to end Sudan war

Egypt, Sudan, and the United States held a trilateral meeting on Sunday to discuss ways to end the ongoing war in Sudan and reduce tensions. The discussions aimed to create an environment conducive to a permanent political solution.

The meeting included Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Sudanese Foreign Minister Moei Eddin Salem, and Massad Boulos, Senior Advisor to the U.S. President for Arab and African Affairs. Discussions focused on current developments in Sudan and the necessity of regional and international efforts to stop the conflict through dialogue and negotiation. Abdelatty emphasized the importance of maintaining Sudan's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the stability of its state institutions.

The talks also addressed the International Quartet's efforts, led by the United States and Saudi Arabia, with participation from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. This group has proposed a three-month humanitarian truce as a step toward a permanent ceasefire, followed by a nine-month transitional period intended to lead to the formation of an independent civilian government.

The conflict, which began in April 2023 due to disputes over the unification of the military, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of approximately 13 million people, alongside a severe humanitarian crisis and famine.
