Burhan’s delegations contained Minister of Foreign Affairs Omar Qamrel Din, Director of General Intelligence Service (GIS) Gamal Abdel Maged, and Chief of Military Intelligence Service Yasser Mohammed Osman. Burhan also visited Egypt on October 31 to discuss the GERD issue. His visit to Ethiopia aims to settle disputes overfilling and operating the GERD, and reach an agreement that respects the Declaration of Principles signed by Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan in 2015. Sudan said on Saturday that the tripartite negotiations with Egypt and Ethiopia would resume starting Sunday. Sudan is somewhat caught in the middle of the conflicting interests of Egypt and Ethiopia.
