In a development that reflects the depth of the Sudanese crisis, a planned summit between the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, which was scheduled for the end of the month, has been canceled.
The summit was set to discuss ways to end the escalating war in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to informed diplomatic sources, the cancellation of the meeting came as a result of Egypt’s firm rejection of the U.S. efforts, which called for the launch of a political transition phase that would exclude the direct parties to the conflict – the army and the RSF – in an attempt to create a settlement led by neutral civilian figures under international sponsorship.
However, Egypt, which maintains close relations with the ruling military institution in Sudan, opposed the proposal, viewing it as an indirect attack on its military allies in Sudan.
According to observers, Egypt’s stance reflects a strategic approach aimed at preserving the current military regime, seen as the sole guarantor of Cairo’s security and economic interests.
This Egyptian rejection, despite the Saudi and Emirati agreement to discuss and reach a consensus, effectively undermined the efforts of the international quartet and obstructed what was seen as an important attempt to build a consensus among the four countries regarding the resolution of the conflict.
By sticking to its military option in Sudan, Egypt weakens the chances for international consensus-driven solutions and hinders efforts to create a comprehensive peaceful transition model.
The crisis also highlights the West’s failure to present a unified vision for post-coup transitions and raises the question of the effectiveness of its contradictory interventions in the continent’s affairs.
