Egypt will host a summit of Sudan’s neighbouring countries this week, to discuss ways to end the current conflict and its negative repercussions on neighbouring countries, according to a statement by the official spokesperson of the Egyptian presidency on Saturday. The summit, which is expected to be held on Thursday 13 July, aims to reach effective mechanisms with the participation of neighboring countries, to settle the crisis in Sudan peacefully, in coordination with other regional and international tracks to resolve the crisis. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accused the Sudanese army of carrying out the raid. On Friday, the Sudanese army launched heavy air raids in various parts, concentrated north of Khartoum in the vicinity of Jisr al-Halfaya and Jisr Shambat, and the neighbourhoods of Maamoura and Arkuit in eastern Khartoum. In the meantime, the Saudi-US mediation efforts are ongoing to bring the war rivals to the dialogue table in order to fulfil the obligations they made to reach a ceasefire.
