The two delegations are expected to engage in a first round of consultations this evening before the two sides begin formal discussions in the presence of Egyptian facilitators tomorrow, Wednesday.
The Sovereignty Council held an emergency meeting regarding the upcoming tour of Kenana's lands and the arrangement of its final position.
The government delegation includes members of the military delegation to the Jeddah negotiations, headed by Lieutenant General Mahjoub Bishri, commander of the naval forces, and Major General Abu Bakr Faqiri.
Government conditions
The Sudanese are waiting for the outcome of the Cairo tour, especially since the Egyptians have in-depth knowledge of the Sudanese file.
Observers believe the upcoming tour could create a major breakthrough with the U.S. delegation, with the government joining the Geneva talks after meeting the government's conditions, including the withdrawal of rebel forces from civilian property and government institutions.
According to press reports, the Sudanese government submitted to the mediation its vision and a timetable for how the ceasefire monitoring mechanism would operate, as well as a timetable for how the rebels would leave government homes and objects.
It appears that the Geneva negotiations will be interrupted for several days in the absence of the American envoy to await the results of the Cairo round.
Differences
Political experts say that the strict stance of the Jeddah government during the recent consultations will impose a new reality on the US delegation by making more concessions to the Sudanese government delegation, otherwise Cairo will be doomed to failure, as happened in Jeddah last week.
The US administration is racing against time to score a point in the race for the US presidency between the Democratic and Republican parties through the Sudanese crisis, as time does not seem to be enough for new escapes from Washington, which will be organized since September in the context of the elections scheduled for next November, which pushes America to seek a third way to make a breakthrough by making real concessions.
