Two Egyptian truck drivers were shot dead at a market in Khartoum on Monday, 12 October, while a third Egyptian national was injured, Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, according to Radio Dabanga.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty instructed Egypt’s ambassador to Sudan to contact the Sudanese authorities, establish the circumstances of the shooting and arrange the repatriation of the two bodies. Sudanese authorities arrested a 23-year-old man, according to Radio Dabanga. The killings came days after air strikes attributed to Egypt reportedly killed dozens of Sudanese miners near the Egyptian border, an incident over which Sudan’s de facto leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, ordered an investigation into the deaths of Sudanese miners.
