After a period of political tension and accusations flung back and forth between the two Nile countries, Sudanese Foreign Affairs Minister Ibrahim Gandor arrived in Cairo on Saturday for official visit in the hopes of solving the current disputes. This visit comes following a week of accusations from Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir against the Egyptian government. He charged Egypt with providing military support to insurgents and rebels located in Darfur, a region in western Sudan. In the press conference held in Cairo, the Sudanese minister refused to retreat from Bashir’s accusations that Egypt supports rebels and the opposition in Sudan. The Sudanese government has taken several measures against Egypt in the wake of these accusations.
