JUBA, JULY 12, 2023 (SUDANS POST) — President Salva Kiir Mayardit on Wednesday arrived in the Egyptian capital Cairo to participate in the summit of Sudan’s neighbouring countries organised by Egypt to try to develop mechanism for resolution of the conflict.

The meeting called upon by Egyptian President Abdelfattah El-Sisi aims to discuss the ongoing Sudanese conflict which begun in mid-April after the RSF launched a surprise attack on government and Sudanese army positions in the capital Khartoum.
It will brings together heads of state from South Sudan, Egypt, Chad, Central Africa, Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Kiir was received at Cairo International Airport by Egyptian minister of youth and sports Ashraf Sobhy and South Sudan’s ambassador to Cairo Joseph Muom Majak.
What benefits will president Salva of South Sudan gain from an issue of Sudan?
On the wee hours of Juba city, Salva Kiir was seen leaving Juba to Cairo and accompanied by Marial Benjamin, Tut Galuak and others.
On his arrival to Cairo International Airport, president Kiir and his delegation got received by Egyptian Sport Minister Mr. Ashraf Sohby, a point led to the reduction of personality of the president himself, reason being he was suppose to be received by either foreign Minister or Vice president. The point of welcoming has not been realized by the government of South Sudan.
It has not been one time but several receiving of South Sudan`s president Salva Kiir was monotonous at any time he decides to visit Cairo, remains at the hands of sport Minister.
Sudan, the neighborhood country to South Sudan had been affected by a very serious war which also affected and damaged the market between two countries which president Salva Kiir to get worried slot because his only main income passes through Sudanpost.
If not Sudan problem, I could have advice president Salva Kiir and his delegation to leave that summit.
