According to the sources, the summit will discuss developments in the region, as well as a number of issues related to the security and stability of the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, especially the Sudanese crisis and its regional repercussions, the situation in Somalia, and the security of the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
