The Sudanese Founding Alliance, “Tasis,” has submitted a formal grievance to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees regarding the systemic targeting of Sudanese nationals in Egypt.
The coalition alleges that Egyptian authorities are conducting a sweeping campaign of arbitrary arrests and forced deportations that violate fundamental international human rights protections.
Spokesman Alaa Naqd reported that Sudanese men and women are being seized from public streets without legal justification or any prior notification of their status.
The complaint details the use of excessive force and physical assaults, claiming detainees are systematically denied access to legal counsel or communication with their families.
According to the alliance, these arrests are not isolated events but reflect a recurring pattern of mistreatment within overcrowded and degrading detention centers across the country.
Disturbing testimonies describe the transport of human beings in livestock vehicles, a practice the coalition identifies as a grave and calculated affront to human dignity.
The report indicates that many individuals are being denied the right to seek asylum, facing instead pressured “voluntary returns” to a nation currently engulfed in war.
Forcibly returning civilians to an active conflict zone constitutes a direct breach of the non-refoulement principle, potentially exposing victims to torture or enforced disappearance.
The coalition warned that Sudan remains entirely unsafe for return as civilian protection mechanisms have collapsed amid the ongoing and brutal armed struggle for power.
Evidence suggests these measures stem from high-level understandings between Egyptian officials and Sudanese military leadership, allegedly fueled by inciting rhetoric in the regional media.
Tasis is now urging the UNHCR to launch an immediate investigation and pressure Cairo to uphold its international obligations toward those fleeing the violence.
