Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir arrives in Cairo tomorrow for a one-day visit to discuss “pending issues” with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, an unnamed Sudanese diplomat tells Al Shorouk. The meeting comes as relations with Khartoum continue to improve following a rise in tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and accusations that Egypt was “meddling” in Sudanese affairs. Sudan’s ambassador also returned to his post in Cairo earlier this month, nearly three months after having been recalled for consultations.

Look for the newly appointed board of the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) to be ratified in the coming days by Prime Minister Sherif Ismail. The board will then get to work on executive regulations for the Capital Markets Act, completing the Insurance Act, and drafting legislation that would grant FRA new autonomy.

Cabinet is expected to discuss the executive regulations to the controversial NGO law “within days.” Parliament had signed off on the bill back in 2016. The act has since come under fire from Republican Senators and the US Congress’ human rights commission.
