CAIRO (AP) — Two senior U.S. diplomats are in Sudan to try and help find a way out of the ongoing crisis in the African country triggered by an October military coup. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Molly Phee and the newly appointed U.S. special envoy for the Horn of Africa, David Satterfield, met with pro-democracy activists on Wednesday and were later to meet with the ruling generals. The military takeover in October has upended Sudan’s transition to democratic rule. And in a separate development on Wednesday, an Israeli delegation met with Sudan’s ruling generals to consolidate newly established ties between their countries.
