The Sudanese military had yesterday described them as “captives” of the paramilitaries, but today said it had used that word “by mistake”.
At the same time, the United Arab Emirates announced that it had brokered the release of those soldiers who had been deployed for “common high schools,” according to Khartoum.
According to related announcements, the flights carrying 177 Egyptian soldiers from Sudan have arrived in Cairo and a separate group of 27 members of the air force are under the care of the Egyptian embassy in Sudan.
Heavy fighting is raging in Khartoum and the towns of Omdurman and Bahri between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF), with many civilians stranded and food supplies running low.
The RSF said it was holding 27 members of the Egyptian air force after raiding the Merobe airbase in northern Sudan on Saturday. The Egyptians have handed themselves over to the Red Cross and are awaiting their departure.
The Egyptian military said the 177 soldiers left on three military planes overnight on Wednesday.
