Ministry of Education announced, Tuesday, the postponement of secondary school exams (Thanaweya Ammah), along with the final exams of the technical diploma degrees for Egyptian students in Sudan.

The Minister of Education Dr. Reda Hegaz directed the officials to facilitate the procedures for Egyptians who returned to Egypt from Sudan to join the exams in Egypt.

He added that the ministry is following the updates of the situation in Sudan and the situation of the Egyptian students there.

Earlier, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry announced it has successfully evacuated 436 Egyptian citizens from Sudan through land routes, in coordination with Sudanese authorities.

A statement by the Foreign Ministry said that the Egyptian embassy in Khartoum, the consulates in Khartoum and Port Sudan, and the consular office in Wadi Halfa are continuing to coordinate with Egyptian citizens in Sudan to secure their evacuation.

The spokesperson for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Ahmed Abu-Zeid noted earlier that the Egyptian community in Sudan exceeds 10,000, but didn’t give a specific figure.

The Ministry allocated hotlines to receive Egyptian calls regarding the situation of the Egyptian community in Sudan and evacuations, to communicate with citizens in Sudan and their families to reassure them about their families.

The airport in Sudan and its borders are currently closed due to military clashes making it difficult for Egyptians stranded in Sudan to return home, Egyptian Minister of Immigration Suha Gendy, said.
