Egypt has condemned recent militant attacks in east and central Africa which have killed at least 50 people in Congo's east and over two dozen in Kenya.
The foreign ministry expressed late on Saturday the country's "complete condemnation" of an attack near Kenya's border with Somalia in which the Somali Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab killed 28 non-Muslims in a bus ambush.
In a separate statement, the ministry said Egypt "condemns in the strongest terms" an attack by suspected Ugandan rebels in Congo which killed between 50 and 80 people, and is believed to have occurred on Thursday.
Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and civil society groups have blamed a string of recent attacks in the east of the country on ADF, a secretive organisation formed in the 1990s to fight the Ugandan government, though some analysts have questioned this assessment.
The ministry urged "concerted regional and international efforts to eliminate terrorism targeting the safety, stability and development across the world."
Egypt is struggling to combat a longstanding Islamist insurrection based in the Sinai Peninsula which has surged since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last year.
