The meeting of leaders from Sudan’s six neighboring countries hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, in Cairo, Egypt was attended by the leaders of Ethiopia, South Sudan, Chad, Eritrea, the Central African Republic, and Libya.
Leaders expressed their concern about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan and condemned the repeated attacks on civilians, healthcare facilities, and public service outlets. They called upon the international community leaders to intensify efforts in providing necessary humanitarian assistance and address the urgent severe shortage of food and medical supplies in Sudan as a measure that reduces the serious repercussions of the crisis on innocent civilians.
The Egyptian President also revealed that a ministerial mechanism regarding the Sudanese crisis at the level of foreign ministers of neighboring countries has been reached. Its first meeting will be held in Chad to take steps for putting an executive work plan that includes practical and implementable solutions, stop the fighting and reach a comprehensive solution to the Sudanese crisis through direct communication with the various Sudanese parties.

The minister also said that there would be better coordination with existing mechanisms IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) and the African Union. Diplomatic circles are eagerly watching the impact of the Peace deal, which some say might be effective since the proposed solution had come from Africans themselves and not imposed from outside.
