Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has emphasized that Africa is seeking a world dominated by peace, rather than being burdened with the consequences of crises it did not instigate. He stressed that the continent's nations have the right to achieve development, stability, and build a more sustainable future. This statement was made during his address at the Africa El Alamein Business Forum, held in the New El Alamein city.
