Djibouti’s president Ismail Omar Guel said that mediating conflicts in Sudan and elsewhere in the region would require bold leadership. The president was speaking during a meeting of the East African regional bloc IGAD in Uganda to discuss Sudan and the recent tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia.
The leaders issued a communique urging the parties to Sudan’s conflict to engage in constructive dialogue and reiterated a call for a ceasefire.
