The Egyptian Foreign ministry Sunday said one member of its staff at the country’s mission in the Sudanese capital Khartoum has sustained injuries after suffering from a gunshot. Last week, the Sudanese army said 177 Egyptian Air Force troops were airlifted back to Egypt aboard three flights. The 177 Egyptian troops from Sudan arrived in Cairo while a separate group of 27 air force personnel are in the care of the Egyptian embassy in Sudan, according to military statements. The Egyptian military has said the soldiers were in Sudan for training according to a joint protocol between the two countries. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said it had handed over the men to the International Committee of the Red Cross in the capital Khartoum.
