The Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid has further stated that the incident “underscores the need to exercise utmost caution” to preserve the safety of Egyptian citizens and diplomats in Sudan.<\/p>\n
He noted that the number of Egyptian citizens in Sudan exceeds 10,000, which requires a tight, safe and orderly planning process to ensure their safe evacuation from the conflict-ridden country.<\/p>\n
EgyptAir has suspended its flights to and from Khartoum International Airport since the beginning of the fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on April 15. <\/p>\n
