CAIRO: Eleven Somalis and 10 Ethiopians were arrested Friday in a
train arriving in Luxor, southern Egypt, for having entered the
country illegally, Youm7 reported.
Some people from Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia occasionally
arrive in Egypt to travel illegally to Libya or Europe.
On Wednesday, 72 Somalis, three Congolese, two Sudanese and one
Gambian were arrested before boarding a boat to Italy from Kafr
el-Sheikh in the Delta. On the same day in the Western Desert, 240
Egyptians and five Sudanese were arrested trying to access Libya
illegally.
In an Oct. 13 statement, military spokesperson Mohamed Samir reported
that 2,215 people were arrested in illegal immigration attempts in
September, both in cities on the Mediterranean and at the
Egyptian-Libya borders.
