The announcement that Sudan will support Qatar's candidate to head the Arab League leads Egypt's candidate to halt a scheduled visit to the country

Mustafa El-Feki, the Egyptian candidate for the post of secretary general of the Arab League, has canceled a trip to Sudan after Khartoum decided to support his Qatari opponent, Abdel Rahman El-Attia.

El-Feki said he had planned a visit to Sudan to meet with officials there, but decided not to go after they officially announced that they would support El Attia.

Amr Moussa, the current secretary general, will step down from his post on 15 May.
