Cairo hosted an international meeting on January 14, 2026, chaired by Egypt's Foreign Minister to coordinate efforts for peace in Sudan, with key figures from the UN, U.S., and UAE participating. The meeting aimed to address the ongoing crisis and promote a humanitarian truce, although the Sudan Founding Alliance supported the initiative while the army in Port Sudan rejected it. The conflict continues to disrupt healthcare services and has led to forced recruitment of young men and children, raising concerns over violations of international humanitarian law.
