In a series of tweets on Monday, Moussa said that the ongoing bloody confrontations and cracks in the political, social and military structures in Sudan pose a threat to the stability of Africa and the Arab world, as well as the vital interests of Egypt.
"The integration of Egypt and Sudan is imposed by nature in parallel of common interests, even if it [the integration] was spoiled by wrong policies since the 1950s, as well as foreign schemes that saw any strong rapprochement between them [Egypt and Sudan] as a threat to their interests in the African continent and the south of the Arab World," Moussa said.
He added that his country has a clear and pivotal role in helping Sudan avoid the repercussions of the current situation. He said.
"Frankness is important with our brothers [in Sudan] and others who have been active on the Sudan issue, especially recently," Moussa noted.
"Some Arab interests may conflict with Egypt's deeper interests in Sudan, and the same applies in Africa. Hence, Egypt is expected to take a clear and bold stand, as our vital interests in that entire region have become threatened and are at stake," he highlighted.
Moussa also warned of the possibility of Ethiopia taking advantage of the situation, which could exacerbate the problem of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam to Egypt.
He said he expects a dynamic policy from Egypt including active tours by all levels of Egyptian diplomacy, public and private, on the Arab and African arenas.
Moussa stated that such a policy would secure Egypt a great position in the course of events and eliminate attempts to exclude it from the current communication and consultation efforts.
