Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty warned that the situation in Sudan represents a grave threat to international peace and security, as the conflict nears its fourth year this April.
The Foreign Minister stressed that the ongoing war directly impacts Egypt’s national security.
He referenced a December 2025 statement from the Egyptian Presidency, which underscored that Egypt will under no circumstances permit the further disintegration of the Sudanese state.
These remarks were made during a high-level meeting in New York focused on Sudanese developments, held on the sidelines of the UN Security Council Ministerial Session.
The meeting brought together representatives from key nations and international organizations, including UAE Minister of State Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, Senior Advisor to the US President for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos, EU Special Representative for the Horn of Africa Annette Weber, and Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Abdulaziz Al-Wasil.
The Foreign Minister reaffirmed Egypt’s full support for all initiatives aimed at ending the conflict, prioritizing an immediate humanitarian truce.
He highlighted Egypt’s active engagement within the International Quartet and commended the US for its leadership in these efforts.
Furthermore, he stressed the critical importance of supporting Sudan’s state institutions and maintaining the nation’s unity.
He warned against attempts to establish “parallel governing entities” that could jeopardize Sudan’s territorial integrity—actions that would contradict resolutions by the African Union and the Arab League.
Turning to the European Union’s role, the minister emphasized its potential to bolster settlement efforts through increased humanitarian aid and political-financial backing for current initiatives.
He welcomed the upcoming Berlin Conference scheduled for April 2026, describing it as a vital opportunity to mobilize international support for the Sudanese people.
Closing the session, the Foreign Minister expressed deep concern over the widening scope of the conflict and the risk of further escalation. He called for intensified international pressure to support a political settlement, preserve Sudan’s stability, and restore regional security.
