  "account": "Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and US Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe met in Cairo to discuss Sudan's ongoing conflict. El-Sisi emphasized Egypt's commitment to Sudan's unity, sovereignty, and state institutions, while also highlighting efforts to end the war, alleviate humanitarian suffering, and support a political resolution. Ratcliffe underscored the significance of continued collaboration between the US and Egypt on Sudan's security issues and the broader situation in the Horn of Africa. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok headed a civilian delegation to New York for meetings with US and international officials, as part of efforts to end the war and tackle the worsening humanitarian crisis. The delegation's formation has sparked internal divisions among Sudanese civilian forces, with some members facing delays in obtaining visas. According to Sumoud leader Shihab Ibrahim, the delegation aims to last about two weeks and will engage supporters in North America through planned meetings. AllAfrica, a news aggregation service, reports on a wide range of positions represented by its sources, including both government-affiliated and independent voices.",
