Egypt deports thousands of refugees held in secret military camps to war-ravaged Sudan

FALCON POWERS – “We want safety, we want stability, and Egypt is closing its door on us.”

Thousands of Sudanese refugees escaping the war into Egypt are being unlawfully detained in secret detention camps near the border, then deported back into the conflict without a chance to claim asylum.

More than 500,000 Sudanese nationals have fled to Egypt, but in June last year, Egypt’s government cancelled a visa exemption policy, making it near impossible for them to enter the country through legal avenues.
