December 14, 2017 (KHARTOUM) - Sudanese Defence Minister Awad Ibn Ouf
Thursday underscored the need to develop military intelligence
coordination between Sudan and Egypt to achieve the interest of the two
neighbouring countries.
According to a statement by the Sudanese army spokesperson, Ibn Ouf
made his remarks during a meeting with the head of
Egyptian military
intelligence Lt. Gen Mohamed Faraj el-Shahat who is taking part in a
joint military intelligence training held in Khartoum this week.
The two armies have set up an annual training course titled "Nile
Valley 3" for military experts and analysts to discuss a number of
strategic issues affecting the security of the two countries.
The courses develop joint strategic analysis and to propose the
required measures in the interests of the two countries, further said
the military spokesperson Ahmed Khalifa al-Shami.
El-Shahat was already in Khartoum last October for talks with the
Sudanese military on ways to control and monitor the joint border
between the two countries.
The rising terrorist threat in Egypt particularly from Daesh elements
who try to cross to Egypt through Jabal Al-Awinat area on the border
with Sudan and Libya. Also, Sudan fears that Darfur groups launch more
attacks from Libya after that one of May 2017. All these elements pushed
Cairo and Khartoum to increase military and security cooperation.
In August 2017, President Abdel-Fatah al-Sisi met with the Sudanese
defence minister and directed to increase military coordination with the
Sudanese army.
