CAIRO – 10 October 2024: Egypt has refuted the claims made by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the leader of the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, regarding the alleged involvement of the Egyptian air force in the ongoing battles in neighboring Sudan. The ministry underscored Egypt’s dedication to the security, stability, and unity of Sudan, both its land and people. Dagalo, known as Hemedti, also claimed that the alleged Egyptian airstrikes have caused his troops to retreat from the strategic Jebel Moya area in Sennar state. Dagalo additionally asserted the presence of fighters from various nations, including Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Eritrea, participating in the Sudan conflict. Moreover, in July 2023, Cairo hosted the Sudan Neighboring States Summit, where the heads of state and governments of the Central African Republic, Chad, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Libya, and South Sudan convened to deliberate on potential solutions to the crisis.
