There was little the Security Council could do other than bring the parties together to express their concerns and then encourage them to return to negotiations to reach a solution, he said. \"I don't think the council can do much more than that,\" he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So when will this latest waste of time happen?<\/strong> The council meeting will take place on Thursday, 8 July, the Sudanese government said in a press statement cited by the Sudanese state news agency <a href=\"https:\/\/suna-news.net\/read?id=716611\">SUNA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nothing is official yet, though:<\/strong> The scheduled meeting doesn\u2019t appear to have yet made it on the council\u2019s schedule (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/securitycouncil\/sites\/www.un.org.securitycouncil\/files\/programme_of_work.pdf\">pdf<\/a>) for July, nor was it mentioned during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/press\/en\/2021\/210701_SC.doc.htm\">its monthly presser<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry sounded more optimistic on the airwaves last night<\/strong>, telling Al Kahera Wal Nas that the \u201cunprecedented\u201d Security Council meeting could force a change in the negotiations that will get all three countries back around the table (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r9LoZ9zf0I4\">watch, runtime 16:49<\/a>). Through this, the fifteen-member council should be able to contain any possibility of conflict between the three nations, he said in a separate interview with Masaa DMC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FP0cc1y_p-c\">watch, runtime 10:45<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full-court press by Egypt and Sudan ahead of the meeting: <\/strong>The reports come as <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d2fe3d99-13aa-4e0d-942a-9b065428f511\">Egypt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/02216f10-5239-4fd7-bd8a-da6f637ac271\">Sudan<\/a> look to wrangle support for the council to help halt plans by Ethiopia to unilaterally begin the second filling of the dam this summer.
