The Sudanese ambassador in Cairo Abdel Mohamoud Abdel al-Haliem left Cairo on Thursday evening after the Sudanese Foreign Ministry decided to recall him for consultations, according to the Sudanese official news agency.
The decision came following denials from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry of the authenticity of news being circulated from Sudanese media outlets that reported Egypt’s demand to exclude Sudan from the Grand Renaissance Ethiopian Dam [GERD] negotiations.
In response to the decision, the official spokesperson of the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Ministry Ahmed Abu Zeid said in a statement that the Egyptian Embassy in Sudan was informed with the recall decision to the Sudanese ambassador in Cairo and that Egypt is now assessing the situation to take appropriate action
