Deportation of Sudanese Violating Residency Conditions in Egypt

Moatinoon
The First Public Prosecutor of the Qena Appeals Prosecution decided to deport 100 Sudanese citizens abroad. He stated that they had not regularized their status in accordance with Government Decree No. 3326 of 2023 issued by Dr. Madbouly.

Security forces arrested a number of Sudanese citizens in several governorates, ranging in number from 120 to 150.

The Egyptian government has used the Qena Security Directorate as a gathering and deportation point for Sudanese violating the Egyptian-Sudanese border. The deportation procedures for 100 Sudanese have been formalized so far.

Deportation police vehicles carrying these residency violators departed from the Qena Security Directorate and headed to the gates of the Arqin border crossing in Wadi Halfa State, Sudan, where they were officially handed over to the Sudanese authorities.

It is worth noting that the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol stipulate that stable countries must provide legal protection to any person who has left their country, fleeing war because their life is threatened.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights also grants every person suffering the scourge of war the right to asylum in neighboring countries or any other safe haven.

It is worth noting that the Egyptian Cabinet issued Resolution No. 3326 of 2023, obligating Sudanese who are not registered as refugees and residing illegally throughout the country to legally regularize their status in Egypt.
