President Isaias made the comments during talks in Asmara with the deputy head of Sudan's ruling Transitional Sovereign Council, Mohamed Hamdan "Hemeti" Dagolo, who made a one-day visit to the country.

The president also called on the Sudanese army to keep off politics.

Eritrea is believed to be backing efforts to solve the political crisis in Sudan that has persisted since the October 2021 coup.
