Sudan recalls ambassador to Egypt for talks

Xinhua,January 05, 2018 Adjust font size:

KHARTOUM, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Sudan said on Thursday that it decided to recall its ambassador to Egypt for consultation.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to recall the Sudanese ambassador in Cairo Abdul Mahmoud Abdul Haleem for consultation," official SUNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry Spokesman Gariballah al-Khider as saying.

Relations between Egypt and Sudan have been tense over the past years on various issues.

In May 2017, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir accused Egypt of providing military support for armed rebels in his country, which was strongly denied by the Egyptian leadership.

The two countries also have a territorial dispute over the border region of Halayeb and Shalateen, which are currently under Egyptian control. Enditem
