The spokesman added that the al-Burhan briefed al-Sisi on the political developments in Sudan, noting that the Egyptian president affirmed Egypt’s support for the security and stability of Sudan and vowed to make more efforts to address the situation in Sudan through his presidency of the African Union.
According to the Egyptian presidency, the two sides agreed to continue "intensive consultation with the aim of contributing to the stability of Sudan and activating the free will of the Sudanese people and to bias their options".
Last April, the Egyptian president, in his capacity as chairman of the African Union, held a meeting with heads of states of the African Peace and Security Council and agreed to extend the deadline for handing power to a civilian government for two months instead of two weeks.
The junta, which faces difficulties in reaching an agreement with opposition forces over the transfer of power to civilian authority, recently has threatened to hold elections within six months.
However, such a measure means that the military will continue to rule for a longer period than the deadline of 30 June. So, the African Union may suspend Sudan’s membership and make proposals to the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on members of the military junta.
