The Sudanese government expressed reservations over the nomination of Mostafa al-Fiqqi, a former National Democratic Party leader, for the position of secretary general of the Arab League, saying it has conveyed its concerns to the Egyptian leadership.
Senior official Sudanese sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Sudanese paper Al-Ahram Al-Youm that nominees should not have adopted a hostile stance towards any Arab country, must be able to win the support of all Arab nations, address the problems faced by Arab states and the challenges of teamwork, and preserve Arab solidarity.
Sudanese government sources have said that Sudan does not oppose an Egyptian nominee, but rather has reservations regarding al-Fiqqi in particular.
