CAIRO – 6 March 2025: Egyptian and Sudanese authorities successfully freed Egyptians kidnapped by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, according to Al Qahera News on Thursday.
The authorities in both countries relocated the Egyptians from conflict areas in central Khartoum to Port Sudan city before safely returning them to Egypt.
This achievement was made in accordance with the directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to recover the Egyptians kidnapped by the Rapid Support Militia, read the report.
Photos show families gathering at Cairo International Airport, warmly embracing their loved ones upon their return.
Sudan is currently battered by a war that started in April 2023 between Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF, claiming the lives of tens of thousands and forcing more than 12 million people to leave their homes, according to UN estimates.
Since the outbreak of war, Egypt has advocated for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire to halt the crisis, preventing further loss of innocent lives and destruction of property.
Egypt has aligned itself with global initiatives led by the United States and Saudi Arabia aimed at ending the conflict and has contributed to establishing a ministerial mechanism involving the foreign ministers of Sudan’s neighboring states to coordinate collective efforts in resolving the crisis.
