The Egyptian National Railways launched its fifth special train today, aimed at facilitating the voluntary return of Sudanese nationals residing in Egypt. This initiative seeks to provide comprehensive support and ensure comfort for Sudanese citizens returning home amidst ongoing challenges.

The move is in line with the directives of Engineer Kamel El-Wazir, Egypt's Minister of Transport and Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development, who emphasized the importance of strengthening historical and fraternal ties between Egypt and Sudan.

The special train, identified as Journey No. 1940, departed from Cairo’s main railway station, bound for Aswan, carrying hundreds of Sudanese families. 

In response to the large number of passengers, the Egyptian Railways coordinated detailed organizational measures to ensure a smooth and safe journey. This includes dedicated reception teams at stations, special assistance for elderly travelers, and a supportive environment onboard, aimed at creating an atmosphere of security and comfort.

In addition to the supportive measures, the train is equipped with a luggage transport wagon to accommodate the personal belongings of passengers, ensuring that their needs are met throughout the journey.

Many Sudanese passengers expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the well-organized travel process and the kindness shown by the Egyptian authorities. They emphasized the sense of brotherhood and solidarity they felt from their Egyptian hosts, starting from their reception at the stations to their departure for Sudan. This spirit of cooperation has left an indelible mark on their hearts, and many expressed gratitude for the support they received during this challenging time.
