\n
The Federal Government has said that the Nigerians evacuated from war-ravaged Sudan were currently stranded in Egypt\u2019s border, as the authorities were demanding that everyone follow the normal visa protocols.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nRecall that the first set of Nigerians evacuated from Sudan arrived Egypt Thursday evening, meeting an already closed border.<\/p>\n

But they were expected to leave early Friday (today) morning and proceed, thereafter, to the airport on their way back home.<\/p>\n

However, the Nigerians were among the over 7,000 foreign nationals stuck in Egyptian border, as the country was demanding visas of the foreigners before entry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nA release by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman\/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, called on those concerned with passages and movement of persons and services along contiguous borders of Sudan to create a humane condition for about 7,000 nationals, including Nigerians, to have unfettered access to their various destinations.<\/p>\n

In the statement, signed by Gabriel Odu, Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, NIDCOM, Dabiri-Erewa said: \u201cOver 7,000 nationals, including Nigerians, are not being allowed to cross the border into Egypt since their arrival late Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian mission in Egypt has been working tirelessly on this as the Egyptian authorities are insisting on visas by fellow Africans to transit back to their countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

She appealed to the Egyptian authorities \u201cto kindly allow the already traumatised travellers to transit to their final destinations in various countries in Africa.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
