Taarek Refaat Egypt's National Railway Authority on Sunday launched the fourth train service dedicated to supporting the voluntary return of Sudanese citizens residing in Egypt to their home country. The initiative, carried out under the directives of Kamel El-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport, reflects Egypt's commitment to its historic and fraternal ties with Sudan. According to an official statement from the Railway Authority, Train No. 1940 — a third-class air-conditioned service, departed from Ramses Station in Cairo at 11:00 a.m., heading south to Al-Sadd Al-Aali River Port in Aswan, where passengers are set to continue their journey into Sudan via river transport. The train is scheduled to arrive at 11:10 p.m. the same day. The authority emphasized that comprehensive logistical arrangements were made to ensure comfort and dignity for the Sudanese passengers, including the addition of an extra luggage carriage to accommodate personal belongings. The initiative is overseen by a special coordinating committee, tasked with maintaining safety and ensuring that travelers are treated with dignity throughout the process. 'This operation reflects the depth of the people-to-people bond between Egypt and Sudan, built on shared history, geography, and mutual respect,' the statement read. In a symbolic gesture that underscored the spirit of unity, passengers at Platform 8 of Cairo's Ramses Station were greeted with flowers and warm farewells from Egyptian officials and citizens alike. Photos and eyewitness accounts from the platform depicted heartfelt scenes of genuine solidarity as travelers boarded the train, many expressing gratitude for the support they've received during their time in Egypt.

30 Injured After as Train Derails in Iran
Israa Farhan A train derailment in Iran's southern Kerman Province on Friday left 30 people injured, according to local media sources. No fatalities have been reported. The incident occurred on the railway line connecting the cities of Kerman and Zarand. Babak Mahmoudi, head of the Iranian Red Crescent's relief and rescue organisation, confirmed that 30 passengers sustained injuries when the train veered off the tracks. A statement from the National Railway Authority's Public Relations Office, cited by Tasnim News Agency, noted that all passengers were safely evacuated from the train after technical staff and rescue teams arrived on site. Train derailments are not uncommon in Iran, with previous incidents resulting in significant casualties. In June 2022, a derailment near the central city of Tabas claimed 21 lives and left dozens injured after the train collided with an excavator. In another major accident in 2016, a fiery collision between two trains in northern Iran killed 44 people and injured many more. 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 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
