Egypt Launches Train Service to Support Sudanese Voluntary Repatriation
H-Tayea Egypt has launched a dedicated train service to support the voluntary return of Sudanese citizens currently residing in the country. The train will depart from Ramses Station in Cairo, heading to Aswan, where further arrangements will be made to assist Sudanese nationals returning home. This humanitarian initiative is part of Egypt's ongoing support for the Sudanese people and the strong historical bond between the two nations of the Nile Valley. The Egyptian National Railways Authority has confirmed that a special, air-conditioned third-class train, Train No. 1940, will depart from Cairo on Monday, July 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM and arrive at the High Dam Station in Aswan by 11:40 PM. To ensure convenience and comfort, the train will include an additional luggage carriage specifically for passengers' personal belongings. The return journey for regular passengers will operate as Train No. 1945, departing Aswan on Tuesday, July 29, at 8:30 PM, and arriving in Cairo at 9:25 AM the following day. This effort was launched under the directives of Lieutenant General Kamel El-Wazir, Egypt's Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport, who instructed railway authorities to provide all necessary logistical and service support. The goal is to guarantee a safe, organized, and dignified journey for Sudanese citizens returning home. The Egyptian government emphasized that this is more than a transportation effort—it reflects deep solidarity with the Sudanese people during a time of hardship, and a continuation of Egypt's role as a regional partner offering real, on-the-ground support to neighboring nations in crisis. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Spanish traffic lights shout: "Stand against Israel and freedom for Gaza" (Video)
Amir Hagag Spain has continued its strong stance against Israel and its brutal crimes in Gaza. In an innovative move, traffic lights on the streets now oppose Israel and support Gaza. On one Spanish street, the red light displays "Stand against Israel" and the green light "Freedom for Gaza," in a powerful new gesture that brings Madrid's political stance to the heart of the street. This innovative move was part of a local initiative launched by pro-Palestinian groups in Spain, and sparked widespread controversy from the outset. It required a simple technology that integrates digital text into traffic light signs, but it carried a profound political weight, linking daily traffic to the international political scene. Some passersby took photos of the traffic lights and their political stance, prompting others to engage in conversation about the war on Gaza. As pedestrians crossed the street, a moral question came to mind: Can we continue to cross as if nothing is happening there? Undeterred and with full American support, Israel has continued its brutal crimes and genocide against the Palestinians since October 2023. The war has left more than 180,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. Furthermore, famine has claimed the lives of many, including children, and widespread destruction has occurred. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Egypt, Qatar FMs discuss Gaza ceasefire efforts - Foreign Affairs
Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty held a phone call on Sunday with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss the latest developments in the Gaza Strip and ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire. The call focused on the horrific humanitarian situation in Gaza due to Israel's mass starvation policy and the Egyptian-Qatari efforts to halt the Israeli genocidal war against Palestinian civilians, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. During the call, both foreign ministers reaffirmed their commitment to intensifying diplomatic efforts to reach a comprehensive ceasefire agreement that would allow for the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians and end the repeated Israeli attacks on civilians. Moreover, they discussed the ongoing preparations for the upcoming International Conference on the Recovery and Reconstruction of Gaza, which Egypt will host. The conference will focus on implementing the Arab-Islamic plan for rebuilding the war-battered Gaza. Egypt and Qatar also stressed the importance of sustained coordination between them and mobilizing international support for establishing an independent Palestinian state based on the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. On Thursday, the US and Israel pulled back from Gaza ceasefire talks in Doha. However, Egypt and Qatar said Friday they will continue the mediation efforts to halt the brutal war in Gaza, end the humanitarian tragedy, protect civilians, and facilitate a captive-prisoner exchange.
