Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry will be heading to Khartoum on Wednesday at the head of a high-ranking delegation set to meet with a number of Sudanese officials, Al Shorouk reports, citing Sudan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qaribullah Khedr. We’re expecting Khartoum’s ban on Egyptian agricultural imports to feature heavily in discussions. In the run-up to the talks, Egyptian security forces have reportedly arrested and will deport 100 undocumented Sudanese nationals who have allegedly been illegally living and working in the city of Shalateen.

The law regulating the repossession of land seized under the government’s campaign to reclaim illegally occupied land is expected to come into effect this week, according to statements last week from Prime Minister Sherif Ismail.
