El Sisi denies Al Bashir’s accusations of intervention in Sudan at Wednesday presser: Egypt’s foreign policy is “based on non-intervention in foreign countries’ affairs” and has never conspired against Sudan or any other country, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi told the press on Wednesday, according to a statement from Ittihadiya (pdf). The statements came during a joint press conference with Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern, who met with El Sisi and Prime Minister Sherif Ismail yesterday for cooperation talks.

Reuters quotes the president as saying, “The other point I must stress is that Egypt does not conspire. Would I conspire and let elements attack our brothers in Sudan? We practice honorable politics at a time when honor is rare.”
