Egypt, Sudan should mend their growing rift

It’s a shame that Egypt can mend relations with the United States but not with an important neighbor like Sudan, Fahmy Howeidy writes in his latest column for Al Shorouk. Howeidy criticizes both countries for failing to take any steps to resolve standing disagreements over the Halayeb and Shalateen territories and Ethiopia’s Renaissance Dam. He suggests both states are instead adding fuel to the fire, with Sudan enforcing entry visas and Egypt’s Foreign Minister canceling his trip to Khartoum for “bad weather.”
