Egyptian MP: There is no place for the perpetrators of massacres at the negotiating table in Sudan

Egyptian Parliament member Mustafa Bakri said that President Al-Sisi discussed the issue of post-liberation reconstruction in Sudan with President of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan. Mustafa Bakri added, during an interview with Al-Arabiya Al Hadath, that it was agreed that Egyptian companies would participate in rebuilding Sudan’s infrastructure, that Cairo would communicate with numerous other parties involved in financing, and that the Sudanese political leadership would invite Sudanese investors to return to develop their country.

Regarding the form of negotiations in the Sudanese war, Mustafa Bakri indicated that every war ends with negotiations, noting that anyone who wants to return to the national fold will certainly be a party to the negotiating table.

Mustafa Bakri continued: “As for the isolationists and the criminals who committed massacres, they have no place at the negotiating table.” He continued: “Look at the massacres taking place in El-Fashir, look at what happened in Wad Madani, Al-Gezira, Omdurman, and Darfur. Listen to what the governor of Darfur said about the massacres, describing what happened as the most heinous crime in the world.”

He pointed out that the negotiating table is what will push everyone to reach a political solution, continuing: “I believe that one of the causes of the current crisis is foreign interference, and that the war cannot stop unless these hands are lifted and Sudan is allowed to determine its own fate.”
