Egypt has stressed the need for regional and international cooperation to ensure humanitarian aid reaches Sudan through safe corridors, supporting the Sudanese people and state institutions. This came from Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty during his meeting with members of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee in Berlin, where he underlined that securing humanitarian access is an urgent priority given Sudan’s current circumstances.
Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s firm commitment to Sudan’s security, stability and unity, emphasising respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity. He outlined Cairo’s efforts within the “Quartet Mechanism”, aimed at achieving a ceasefire and preparing conditions for an inclusive political process that preserves Sudan’s unity and stability.
The Quartet Mechanism includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and the US, working collectively to end hostilities in Sudan. The group held a ministerial meeting in Washington in September, stressing the need to pursue all possible measures to resolve the conflict and restore peace and stability.
In August, the Quartet proposed a roadmap calling for a three month humanitarian truce, followed by a permanent ceasefire, paving the way for an inclusive political process leading to an independent civilian government within nine months. The plan forms part of broader international efforts to end the war and rebuild Sudanese institutions.
Late last month, Egypt expressed hope that a political process in Sudan would begin without excluding any party, reiterating its support for a comprehensive approach involving all national forces. Cairo also welcomed US President Donald Trump’s engagement with the Sudan crisis, following talks between Abdelatty and EU Commissioner for Crisis Management, Hadja Lahbib, where both sides stressed the need for coordinated international support for Sudan during this critical period.
