Immigration Minister Soha Al-Gendy is following up conditions of Egyptian students in Sudan amid the turmoil currently going on in the neighboring country.
Gendy, in a virtual meeting via video conference with 100 Egyptian students in Sudan, listened to growing concerns especially with exams just around the corner.
She assured them that the Immigration Ministry is acting in coordination with the Foreign Ministry and the Egyptian Embassy in Sudan to guarantee the Egyptian community is safe.
All scenarios and alternatives will be studied so as not to jeopardize the future of the students, Gendy stressed.
So far, no confirmed casualties have been reported among Egyptian students in Sudan, the minister said.
She urged the Egyptian students to stay in their homes until stability is restored.
The Egyptian students are advised to fill out electronic forms that they received to make it easier for the Emigration Ministry to quickly intervene in the case of unfortunate developments, Gendy said.
On Sunday, Egypt called on warring parties in Sudan to agree on a ceasefire and hold dialogue, and on foreign parties to abstain from any actions that would worsen the conflict, said the Egyptian Foreign Ministry in a statement.
