Cairo /Al Hamish’s Voice – October 15, 2025
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Chairman of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, emphasized during their meeting today at AL Ittihadiya Palace in Cairo the importance of the International Quartet Mechanism as a key framework supporting efforts to resolve the Sudanese crisis and end the ongoing war in the country.
Both sides expressed their hope that the upcoming meeting of the Quartet Mechanism, scheduled to be held in Washington later this October, will yield tangible results that contribute to stopping the war and achieving stability.
President El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s steadfast position in supporting Sudan’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, while rejecting any attempts that threaten its security, seek to divide the country, or establish parallel entities to the legitimate government.
For his part, General Al-Burhan expressed Sudan’s appreciation for Egypt’s role and President El-Sisi’s efforts in supporting the Sudanese people and backing peace initiatives, praising the strength of the historic ties between the two countries.
The meeting also addressed the issue of Nile waters, during which both sides reiterated their rejection of any unilateral measures on the Blue Nile. They affirmed the alignment of Cairo and Khartoum’s positions regarding the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and agreed to continue coordination to safeguard their shared water rights.
General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan’s visit to Cairo comes amid escalating fighting in Sudan as the war enters its nineteenth month, alongside UN warnings of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe, particularly in the Darfur region and Khartoum State. The visit is part of intensified regional diplomatic efforts aimed at breaking the political deadlock and creating conditions conducive to the resumption of dialogue between the warring parties.
The International Quartet Mechanism, comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom seeks to revive the Jeddah negotiations, which have been stalled for months, and to persuade the warring parties to cease hostilities and engage in a comprehensive political process under international and regional auspices.
Cairo attaches particular importance to developments in the Sudanese crisis, given its direct impact on regional security and Egypt’s interests along the Nile. Observers, meanwhile, stress that the upcoming Washington meeting of the Quartet Mechanism represents a real test of the international community’s ability to unify its efforts to end the war and put an end to the humanitarian collapse in Sudan.
