Egypt to support Sudan after release of captives

Cairo is trying to raise support amid regional countries for the Sudanese government in its war against rebel militias, after a successful cooperation led to the release of Egyptian captives detained by the Rapid Support Forces.

According to the New Arab on March 7th, a channel close to the regime said the release had come as a result of months of close cooperation between Egypt and the Sudanese Army, as President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi made freeing the captives a priority. 

One of the captives told Reuters that the RSF militia accused him and his co-nationals of spying for Egyptian secret services which he denies.
