‘We are pushing very hard to end this and preserve the future of
Sudan’

Waihiga Mwaura speaks to Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Egypt’s Foreign
Minister, during the G20 summit that took place at the end of
November in South Africa.

Dr. Abdelatty took up the post last year, following a long
diplomatic career across Europe, North America and Asia. He’s
tasked with representing Egypt and the government of President
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has been in power since 2014 following
a military coup the previous year.

Egypt is currently facing a number of issues including an
economic crisis at home and political instability along its
borders.

Libya, to the west, is still dealing with the fallout from the
collapse of the Gaddafi regime nearly 15 years later. And On
Egypt’s eastern border, much of Gaza lies in ruins. Meanwhile,
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has estimated
that over 1.5 million Sudanese people have sought safety in Egypt
as a brutal civil war rages across the border to the south.
