Egypt has tightened measures on its borders
Egypt has declared that it will impose severe border controls in an effort to block the flow of Sudanese refugees trying to flee the violence, which has been raging for almost two months, into the nation.
According to a statement from Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the move was made to control immigration within the nation and deter people from printing bogus visas to enter the country. The decision does not imply that Egypt has shut its doors or is attempting to restrict the number of Sudanese persons it grants sanctuary, it was added to the announcement.
Prior to the revelation of this action, Sudanese media stated that Egypt's government had recently issued an order prohibiting Sudanese refugees from entering the nation without a legal visa.
In addition to the potential presence of five million Sudanese in Egypt prior to the war, at least 200,000 Sudanese refugees have left the nation since fighting broke out between Sudan's military leaders on April 15.
