Al -Burhan in Cairo: Visiting Transition – The Truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
In a very precise timing, the first team, Abdel Fattah Al -Burhan, president of the sovereign council, is preparing to make an official visit today in Cairo, by inviting the Egyptian ambassador to Khartoum, after weeks of political and military movement accelerated internally and externally. This event cannot be read in isolation of tribal and dimensional contexts that surround it, in the light of the specific sales in which the problems of war and peace, national sovereignty and intertwined regional relations overlap.
At the level of the tribal context, this official invitation intervened after the visit of the head of the Egyptian general intelligence service, Major-General Hassan Mahmoud Rashad, in Port Sudan, the eighth April 2025, where he encountered proof of a meeting dealing with developments in the Sudanese security scene and the invitation to Egypt for the time of the unity and the stability of Sudan inclusion of the announcement of the unit. However, the development of events later, in particular after the London conference, which was held on April 11, 2025 and witnessed strong differences between its members, between supporters of militia solutions and support for the votes of the Government and the Sudanese army, in addition to the reserves of certain international parts as the military solution approached, failed and produced a new climate which encouraged Cairo to take a stage.
In the international context, the London conference was an attempt to impose pressure approaches in Sudan under the coverage of the “civilian political process”, but the divisions which emerged within the conference revealed challenges that international visions are confronted, in particular with the purchase of mediation efforts led by “IDAQ” and the African Union.
In the dimension, the visit of the evidence comes in the middle of important transformations on the ground; The Sudanese army, according to the field reports published by the newspaper “Al -Sudani”, on April 20, 2025, has made remarkable progress on the fronts of the capital and the states of Kordofan, while the rapid support militia, according to analyzes of the “African Center for Strategic Studies”, faces an operational working state and traces to obtain this remuneration Regional authorities, according to the recent United Nations report, to strike power plants and vital bridges. But this weapon, despite its seriousness, has not changed the strategic war of the army, which makes the expected visit to a calculated political stage aimed at strengthening the field gains with solid positions of regional support.
In this context, Cairo is of particular importance; Egypt, which is linked to Sudan, historical links and security, considers the stability of its neighbor in the South as an integral part of its national security and from here, its reception of evidence with a complete official invitation, the ceremony transports solid messages inside and outside that the unity and security of Sudan cannot be linked, and that the support of national institutions is more important than armies outside the law.
During the next visit, discussions should answer several concern for national security in the two countries. At the forefront of these questions, military and security coordination between Cairo and Khartoum will be in the light of regional threats and security challenges in the Red Sea and Libya. The two parties can also discuss cooperation in securing common borders and the exchange of information on intelligence on suspicious movements that can threaten the stability of the region. Here, it is necessary to refer to the speech of evidence the day before, in which he spoke of an offensive doctrine of the army to protect the national security of the country, in addition to ending the attacks of the marches that the militia continued to use and its supporters, to impose negotiations.
On the other hand, discussions may arise on means of improving regional political support in Sudan, in a way that guarantees the unity of the Sudanese state in the face of international political pressure. Translections are likely to include mechanisms to coordinate positions in international forums in order to support the legitimacy of the Sudanese State and its national institutions, as well as to avoid any attempt to impose solutions which could harm the interests of Sudan, as well as the guarantees of the humanitarian aid flow, given the recent coordination with the United Nations.
The challenges related to the Red Sea are one of the important files of which Al -Burhan et al -Sisi can discuss, in the light of regional and international competition in this vital region. Consultations may include new security agreements to protect common interests and ensure undesirable external penetration.
It is also planned that the historic dossier linked to the Renaissance dam should be discussed in accordance with the current challenges that countries face. As this file continues to influence the relations between the three countries, the means to preserve the rights of the parties of the parties can be discussed.
In addition, the two parties can discuss reconstruction files, in particular in the light of the great destruction of the Sudanese infrastructure as a result of the war. Cairo is likely to offer its support in the field of maintenance and qualification of vital projects such as bridges, bridges and power plants, as well as improving cooperation in other areas such as increased electrical connection capacities.
The entire visit, according to what we see from the face of the truth, carries the strategic dimensions aimed at confirming President Al -Burhan as a symbol of Sudanese national legitimacy, while confirming the role of Egypt as a major guarantor of the stability of Sudan and the region. This is an opportunity to improve the strategic partnership between the two countries in the face of climbing military and political challenges. With the decline of advanced Sudanese war and army, Khartoum seeks to confirm the transition before the regional and international powers, while Egypt remains the most important ally at this precise stage.
You are fine and well.
