Sudan's Burhan tells Egypt's Sisi not to equate state institutions with parallel entities

Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council Chairman Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan told Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of the importance of not equating Sudanese state institutions with parallel entities.

The remarks came during a meeting in New Alamein, where El-Sisi received Burhan on the sidelines of the African Union's eighth mid-year coordination meeting.

The two leaders discussed the latest developments in Sudan. El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt's longstanding support for the Sudanese people and its commitment to preserving Sudan's unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the cohesion of its national institutions. He stressed that Egypt would continue its efforts at both regional and international levels to promote a political solution to the crisis, help end the war, and alleviate the humanitarian suffering of the Sudanese people, paving the way for Sudan to restore security, stability, and begin reconstruction and development.

Burhan expressed his deep appreciation for Egypt's supportive stance toward Sudan, saying it reflects the unique historical and fraternal ties between the two nations. He also praised Egypt's political and humanitarian assistance, as well as its generous hosting of large numbers of Sudanese who were forced to leave their country due to the war.
