Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aaty said Egypt will not accept the partition of Sudan under any circumstance, stressing the importance of preserving the unity of the neighboring country and safeguarding the resources of the Sudanese people.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said, “Our hearts bleed for the killings, massacres, and crimes committed against civilians, especially after the fall of El-Fasher. The first and greatest victim of these events is the Sudanese citizen.”
He underscored “the need to create safe havens in Darfur that are not under militia control but are instead overseen by neutral entities, so that Sudanese civilians can seek refuge without facing killing, rape, or burning.”
Abdel Aaty stressed that such measures should happen within a humanitarian truce that leads to a ceasefire, allows humanitarian corridors to open, and launches a political process that excludes no one and remains fully Sudanese-owned without external imposition.
He added, “We are working very seriously toward this direction. Egypt’s position is clear and firm: we will not accept, under any pretext, the division of Sudan. The state’s national institutions must be preserved, because without them—and without the Sudanese Armed Forces—there is no Sudan.”
