The Egyptian Foreign Ministry revealed that an employee of its embassy in Khartoum was injured as a result of the ongoing battles there, stressing that Egyptian diplomats “will not leave the field” before checking on every citizen, according to “Russia Today” news agency.

This came in statements made by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ahmed Abu Zeid, in response to an inquiry from a number of editors this morning, about the situation regarding the evacuation of members of the Egyptian community in Sudan and members of the diplomatic mission and official technical missions.
