The Turkish presidency said that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan informed President of the Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, in a phone call that Ankara is ready to mediate to resolve differences between the Sudanese government and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and work to end the war between the Sudanese forces, amidst a welcome from the Sudanese army commander.

The Turkish presidency said, in a statement, that Erdogan touched on with Al-Burhan, in the phone call, Turkish-Sudanese relations in addition to regional and global issues, as the Turkish president suggested that Ankara intervene to resolve differences between Sudan and the UAE, as it mediated a dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia, according to what the Turkish presidency said without going into details.
