He stated that the peoples of Egypt and Sudan have been brothers since time immemorial, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding Sudan and restoring it to a better state than before, thanks to its youth.

Ms. Amira El Fadil, Chairwoman of the Isnad Board of Directors, reiterated Egypt’s role, having accommodated approximately two million Sudanese migrants since April 15, 2023. She thanked Egypt and praised the steadfastness of the youth who sacrificed their lives and contributed to achieving stability in Sudan through the organization of the Takaya.

He stressed the importance of maintaining the good relationship between Sudan and Egypt.
