The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from the first moment that the security situation in Sudan worsened, due to the armed conflicts there, immediately issued a Notice asking Greeks in Sudan to observe the maximum possible security measures and to avoid unnecessary movements.

At the same time, following the instructions of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Dendias, our Embassy in Cairo, which has a parallel accreditation in Sudan, is in constant contact with the Metropolitan of Nubia, Mr. Savvas. In addition, the Greek Ambassador in Cairo contacted the head of the EU Delegation in Sudan (Khartoum) and it was agreed that the EU Delegation would provide assistance for the safety of Greeks in Sudan. The Ambassador of Greece in Cairo is also in communication with the President of the Greek Community in Khartoum.

By order of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Crisis Management Unit of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was immediately activated, which is in communication and coordination with the other EU member states through the Consular Cooperation system.
