Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Eduardo de Vega said seven more buses carrying at least 300 Filipinos left from Sudan to Egypt on Wednesday morning.
Asked about the reason behind the long processing at the border, he said: “They do not have Egyptian visas, and many do not even have passports with them.”He said the Philippine Embassy in Egypt is already trying to fix the delays in processing the Filipino evacuees. De Vega also pointed out that some Filipinos are leaving the strife-torn country on their own via the Port of Sudan.
A three-day ceasefire, which began Tuesday, was sealed by the Sudan Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces following intense negotiations mediated by the United States and Saudi Arabia.
