Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptian Expatriates is closely following a shooting in Khartoum in which two Egyptian truck drivers were killed and another was injured after a gunman opened fire on a number of Egyptian drivers.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation, and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty instructed Egypt’s ambassador to Sudan to contact the Sudanese authorities immediately to establish the circumstances of the incident, check on the injured Egyptian national and take all necessary measures to repatriate the bodies as soon as possible.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ambassador Nader Zaki said Egypt’s Ambassador to Sudan, Yasser Sorour, had immediately contacted the Sudanese authorities, who confirmed that the perpetrator had been arrested.
The Egyptian ambassador also met the Governor of Khartoum who offered condolences and checked on the injured man. The medical team treating him confirmed that he required urgent surgery.
