Egypt has strongly condemned an assassination attempt on Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and unequivocally denounced any attempt to disrupt security and stability in Sudan.
The statement by the Egyptian foreign ministry came hours after Sudan's PM survived an assassination attempt which targeted his convoy on Monday in the capital Khartoum.
It added that Egypt is glad that the prime minister was not hurt in the attack, stressing that it will stand by the brotherly people and government of Sudan and their efforts to achieve stability and safety in their country.
On his part, Sudan's Hamdok said that the assassination attempt would not stop the “path of change” in the country.
“What happened will not stop the path of change, it will be nothing but an additional push in the strong waves of the revolution,” he said on Twitter.
No group has claimed responsibility of the attack.
Hamdok has been appointed as prime minister last August, after pro-democracy protests forced the military to remove the autocratic President Omar al-Bashir and replace it with a civilian-led government.
It is worth mentioning that the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Water Resources of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan and their delegations met with the Secretary of the Treasury and the President of the World Bank, participating as observers in negotiations on the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), in Washington, D.C. on January 28-31, 2020.
At the conclusion of the meetings, the ministers reached an agreement on the following issues, subject to the final signing of the comprehensive agreement:
