EGYPT SETS UP TRAINS FOR SUDANESE REFUGEES TO RETURN HOME

Egypt’s railways on Monday launched a special train service for people from Sudan to return home, despite the conflict in their country.

Train 1940 left Cairo on Monday morning, heading to Aswan, where passengers will continue their journey on to Sudan through the Aswan High Dam Port.

The train, equipped with third-class air-conditioned carriages, is intended to ease travel for those seeking to return to their homeland, Egypt’s railway authority said. It is part of a project to assist Sudanese citizens who have sought refuge in Egypt since the outbreak of the Sudan conflict in April 2023.
