Following improvements in the conditions in Egypt, the government decided to stop the evacuation of its citizens in Egypt and had even returned them to that country, especially students since March, the Task Force handling the evacuation said in a press statement here on Wednesday.
The students have been sent back to Egypt and they have resumed their studies at universities there such as Al Azhar.
The process of returning them was coordinated by a task force under a command post with members from the ministry of education, the ministry of foreign affairs, the ministry of religious affairs and the immigration office.
Since the task force was established by the President on January 31, 2011, it has sent back to Egypt 1,854 citizens out of 2,432 evacuated from that country.
The implementation of the task of the task force had been carried out well with the support from, coordination with and synergy of ministries, state institutions and state-owned companies concerned.
As almost all of the citizens that have been evacuated from Egypt have been returned to Egypt the task force would automatically end its job soon. (*)
