Navigating Egypt's Dilemma in Sudan's Ongoing Conflict.

Egypt finds itself in a dilemma over the Sudanese crisis as it is close to one side of the fighting, Sudan's army, while the other side, the Rapid Support Forces, is believed to be backed by the United Arab Emirates, a major financial supporter of Egypt. Egypt already hosts an estimated five million Sudanese refugees and could see their numbers increase if the fighting continues. Stability in Sudan is crucial for Egypt's strategic interests, particularly in its dispute with Ethiopia over the Renaissance Dam. However, Egypt's options are limited due to its economic crisis and fear of being seen as suppressing dissent.
