Egypt's Sisi Meets African Leaders at New Alamein Summit

In October 2026, Egyptian President El-Sisi met with several African leaders in New Alamein. He held talks with Sudan's Al-Burhan on the situation in Sudan and reaffirmed support for Sudan's unity and a political solution. El-Sisi also met Senegal's Faye, who said Senegal aligns with Egypt on the Nile issue and seeks closer bilateral ties. Separate meetings covered stronger ties with South Africa and coordination with Ghana ahead of the 2027 AU chairmanship. The meetings produced a document referred to as the Alamein Declaration.
