Egypt is taking significant steps to support Sudanese families amid ongoing challenges in their home country.
The Egyptian National Railways has launched a dedicated train service to transport hundreds of Sudanese families from Cairo to Aswan. This initiative, part of a “Voluntary Return” program, reflects Egypt’s commitment to assisting Sudanese nationals during a time of instability.
Egypt’s Humanitarian Train Service for Sudanese Families
The specially designated train, numbered 1940, departed from Ramses Railway Station earlier today. It is part of a coordinated effort to facilitate the safe return of families who have been residing in Egypt. The initiative underscores Egypt’s broader humanitarian role in the region.
A formal send-off ceremony was held at the station, attended by Imad El-Din Adawi, Sudan’s ambassador to Egypt. The ambassador expressed gratitude for Egypt’s ongoing support and highlighted the leadership of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in extending assistance to the Sudanese people.
Key Details of the Train Operation

They ensured logistical coordination and demonstrated a commitment to providing a smooth and dignified journey for the passengers. The train is scheduled to arrive at Aswan High Dam Station at approximately 11:40 p.m. local time.
