All necessary preparations have been taken in coordination with relevant authorities in Sudan to secure the safe return of Egyptian Armed Forces personnel, who were in Sudan for joint military training, the military spokesman said on Thursday.
Egypt coordinated on Wednesday with the Sudanese authorities for the landing of three military aircraft in one of the Sudanese airports for the evacuation of Egyptian personnel in three consecutive flights to Cairo under tight security measures.
In a statement, the spokesman said Egypt coordinated early on Thursday with the relevant authorities in Sudan, sisterly countries and the International Committee of the Red Cross in Sudan to secure the safe arrival of the rest of Egyptian Armed Forces personnel to the Egyptian embassy in Khartoum as a prelude to evacuate them from Sudan once stability and proper security conditions are secured for their return home.
The statement concluded that the “Egyptian Armed Forces confirms that all Egyptian troops who returned to the homeland or those who are at the Egyptian embassy in Khartoum are well and in good health.”
