Egyptian-Sudanese talks: Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed the ongoing civil war in Sudan with his Sudanese counterpart Hussein Awad in Cairo, according to a statement. The two sides discussed Egypt’s role in facilitating a resolution to war, Egyptian investments in the country, and efforts to provide humanitarian aid for the Sudanese people.

Earlier this month, Cairo hosted a conference aimed at working toward an end to the war in Sudan, with participation from various political entities, including the UN, African Union, Arab League, and European Union.

Egypt welcomed the UN-brokered agreement between the Yemeni government and the Houthis, hoping that it marks the first step towards a comprehensive solution to the crisis in Yemen, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry. The government said that it will continue to look into operating direct flights between Cairo and Yemen’s Sana’a.
