Egypt-Sudan-Somalia-Eritrea reach consensus on these issues

Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia convened in El Alamein for a joint declaration, discussing regional and global matters. The summit, initiated by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi, brought together the presidents of Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan, as well as the Transitional Sovereignty Council of Sudan. They agreed to bolster political, trade, and economic ties, as well as enhance cooperation and consultation among the four nations. Key points of consensus included:

1. Upholding Sudan's unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and institutions, rejecting any parallel entities.

2. Encouraging a Sudanese-led political process and supporting national institutions.

3. Rejecting any support for mercenaries.

4. Affirming Somalia's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, rejecting interference or actions threatening these aspects, and opposing recognition of "Somaliland."

5. Supporting Somalia's counter-terrorism efforts and empowering state institutions to control the entire territory, urging regional and international partners to provide funding for the African Union mission.

6. Emphasizing the principle of free navigation in the Red Sea, with governance solely by the coastal states.

7. Highlighting the importance of respecting international law on transboundary rivers, particularly the Nile, following the "no harm" principle and cooperation through prior notification, consultation, and consensus; rejecting unilateral measures harming existing water usage by downstream Nile states.

8. Continuing to strengthen consultation and coordination with other sisterly African nations and establishing a mechanism for follow-up on the summit's outcomes, to be held periodically as needed.
