Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the Sudanese military and the chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, has commended Egypt for its efforts to safeguard security in Sudan and hailed its increased engagement in the region, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement.
In particular, al-Burhan called Egypt a "brotherly country" and expressed his gratitude for accepting refugees from Sudan.
"The Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council expressed his deep appreciation for the strong relations between the two brotherly countries, praising the sincere Egyptian support for preserving the safety and stability of Sudan in light of the historical juncture it is going through, especially receiving Sudanese citizens in Egypt," the statement read.
The presidency added that the meeting considered possible efforts to resolve the crisis in Sudan, as well as preserve its sovereignty and cohesion "to safeguard the interests of the brotherly Sudanese people."
The leaders also addressed the provision of humanitarian aid to Sudan and assisting the country to safely overcome the current crisis.
Al-Burhan, for his part, noted that the Sudanese Armed Forces are not looking to seize power and are seeking to end the conflict.
The armed clashes between the RSF and the Sudanese Army began on April 15. Since then, a number of temporary nationwide ceasefires have been declared by the warring parties, but none of them have contributed to a resolution of the conflict.
The parties moved further away from a ceasefire on Monday when al-Burhan said that the army does not "strike deals with traitors."
According to the UN International Organization for Migration, more than 3.4 million people are internally displaced in Sudan, while more than one million have fled the country since the start of the conflict.
