After a three-month hiatus, the voluntary return train for those wishing to return to Sudan from Egypt set off today, carrying 1,100 Sudanese towards southern Egypt, in preparation for their transfer to Sudanese territory.

The train of return for Sudanese

For his part, Lieutenant General Engineer Emad El-Din Adawi, the Sudanese Ambassador to Cairo, announced the resumption of voluntary return trips on train number (41), which contains ten carriages, indicating that this trip is free, praising the Egyptian people for hosting their Sudanese brothers, according to the Sudanese News Agency.

He said that the historic Ramses railway station has received many Sudanese travelers returning to Sudan, especially after the great victories achieved by the armed and supporting forces, and that the way has been paved for the return of the Sudanese people in all their different sectors, stressing that in Egypt the Sudanese are treated as brothers and dear guests.

Train for Sudanese returning voluntarily from Egypt

He revealed that the free trips would be resumed successively, with the support and contribution of various agencies, praising the efforts of the Hope Committee for Voluntary Return, the national popular committee that was assigned the great task, and is supported by many volunteers and media professionals.

In addition, he expressed his hope that the return to the homeland and involvement in reconstruction would continue, after the armed forces had preserved the land and the honor, and that the best means for Sudanese to travel to their homeland was by train, and therefore train journeys would continue.

Cairo, in coordination with Khartoum, is offering new facilities for voluntary return trips for the community residing in Egypt, through an electronic platform that helps to quickly complete the return procedures.

The Sudanese embassy launched the electronic platform, which helps the Hope Committee for Voluntary Return to organize travel operations and determine departure points from Egypt.

The initiative focuses on groups who have not legalized their residency status in Cairo and have legal violations. It is a free initiative, in which Sudanese businessmen contribute, along with facilities from the Egyptian and Sudanese authorities in providing low-cost means of transportation.

Egypt launched an initiative for the voluntary return of Sudanese people in October of last year, by allocating a train from Cairo to Aswan. The initiative contributed to transporting thousands of families until last December, before it stopped for 3 months and returned again this Saturday.
