Egypt introduced visa requirements for Sudanese citizens before crossing its borders, according to a press statement published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 10 June. The ministry’s spokesperson, Ahmed Abu-Zeid, clarified that the decision aims to provide regulations rather than restrictions on Sudanese individuals fleeing from their conflict-plagued country. The statement also announced that automated visa procedures are available through its consulates in Halfa and Port Sudan to ensure a smooth and accurate process for Sudanese citizens entering Egypt. A video tweet showcased masses of Sudanese citizens in a queue for a visa appointment in Halfa being attacked by Sudanese security forces. Abu-Zeid was quoted saying that these groups exploit the situation and the Egyptian government’s efforts to accommodate the arrival of Sudanese citizens.
