Egypt relocates diplomatic mission outside Sudanese capital amid clashes
ANKARA (AA) – Egypt said Wednesday members of its diplomatic mission in Khartoum had been relocated to a safer place outside the Sudanese capital.
A Foreign Ministry statement cited “increasing threats and security risks” for the move, which came two days after an embassy staff member was killed in Khartoum.
The statement said the relocation would allow members of the embassy, consulate, and technical bureaus to carry on the tasks pertinent to the evacuation of Egyptian nationals from Sudan.
Egypt has so far evacuated 1,539 Egyptian nationals from Sudan amid clashes between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
At least 512 people have been killed and over 4,100 others injured since the outbreak of violence on April 15, according to the Health Ministry.
