Sudan threatens to apply similar deportation measures against Egyptians.
New tensions in Sudan-Egypt relations. Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour Monday threatened to reciprocate Cairo’s recent deportation measure if the latter continues to deny entry of Sudanese nationals at the airport. Tensions started on April 25, when the Egyptian authorities denied entry and deported journalist Iman Kamal al-Din from Al-Sudani newspaper just 24 hours after a similar move against journalist Al-Tahir Satti of Al-Intibaha daily. In front of the situation Sudan answered that it will take the same counter measures against Egyptian journalists. This new case of tension could endangered new agreement between both countries to appease tensions, two weeks ago.
