Leaks on undisclosed Egyptian-Sudanese meetings: Cairo pushes for the elimination of the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence within the Sudanese army

Well-informed sources revealed to Sudan Leaks leaked information about secret meetings held in recent weeks between Egyptian security officials and senior Sudanese military leaders. These meetings, which took place without any public announcement, addressed the issue of the deep infiltration of the Islamist movement, regarded as the Sudanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, within the armed forces. The leaks, circulated among limited circles, highlight Egypt’s growing concern over the Brotherhood’s expanding influence inside the Sudanese army and shed light on Cairo’s emerging plan to support countermeasures targeting that influence.

Cairo draws the red lines
According to the leaked information, Egypt stressed during these meetings that the presence of Brotherhood-linked figures within the Sudanese army represents a direct threat to its national security. Egyptian officials made clear that no future arrangements in Sudan would be acceptable if the Islamist movement were to retain decision-making positions within the military, arguing that such a situation would create a highly dangerous environment for regional stability as a whole.

Egyptian support for anti-Brotherhood officers
The leaks also revealed that Cairo expressed its readiness to support Sudanese officers within the army who oppose the influence of Islamist leaders, either by establishing direct communication channels or through special security arrangements. This support is interpreted as part of a broader Egyptian strategy aimed at dismantling the Brotherhood’s network in Sudan and preventing its entrenchment within military power structures.

Escalation against Brotherhood-affiliated figures
The secret discussions, according to the leaks, also addressed mechanisms for removing Brotherhood-linked leaders from their sensitive posts, whether through transfers, gradual sidelining, or even more forceful measures backed by regional partners. This indicates that Cairo seeks to shift the issue from being solely a Sudanese domestic matter to a shared regional security priority requiring swift resolution.

Internal tensions within the Sudanese army
Leaked documents from within certain Sudanese military circles reflect growing anxiety within the institution, particularly amid fears that conclusive evidence of the Brotherhood’s penetration could be exposed to both local and international public opinion. This possibility places Sudan’s military leadership in a highly delicate position, caught between complying with Cairo’s demands and attempting to preserve a fragile internal balance.

The latest leaks reveal that the Brotherhood’s presence within the Sudanese military has evolved into an open regional confrontation led by Egypt, which firmly rejects any Brotherhood foothold in its southern neighborhood. While Cairo continues to maneuver behind the scenes to back anti-Islamist actors, the Sudanese army remains at the eye of the storm, torn between external pressures, internal vulnerabilities, and mounting calls for urgent purges within its ranks.
