Egypt faces multiple challenges because of the violence that erupted in Sudan on April 15.

Egypt’s ties with Khalifa Haftar, commander of the east-based Libyan National Army, could help prevent illicit arms smuggling into Sudan.
Egypt’s contributions to mediation in Sudan will draw attention away from its human rights record in the short term.
Egypt’s relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) could suffer if the two double down on supporting opposing sides in the conflict.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt will remain too weak to take advantage of any Islamist resurgence in Sudan.
