Regional leaders from Egypt, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan have urged renewed diplomatic efforts to halt the escalating conflict in Sudan, emphasizing the need for direct negotiations to achieve a lasting ceasefire. With fighting continuing to displace thousands and strain humanitarian resources, the call comes as neighboring nations seek to prevent further destabilization across the Horn of Africa. The push for talks highlights growing international concern over the war’s spillover effects, including refugee crises and economic disruptions. Details on how these leaders plan to facilitate discussions remain unclear, but their joint statement signals a rare moment of unity in addressing the crisis.
Egyptian, Eritrean, Somali and Sudanese leaders also call for talks to end the civil war in Sudan.
