Sudan’s Embassy in Cairo said it contained a brief protest and gathering by individuals dealing with its consular section, adding that normal operations resumed and services to Sudanese citizens were not disrupted.
Local media and social media accounts reported that several SAF soldiers wounded in military operations gathered outside the embassy in the Dokki district to protest the suspension of their stipends after a decision to end their treatment period and instruct them to return to Sudan.
According to those reports, a committee arrived from Port Sudan and informed the wounded they must go back without completing their medical care, sparking anger among the group. Some protesters allegedly forced their way into the embassy and assaulted staff before the situation was temporarily brought under control.
Sources cited by those outlets said the wounded men accuse authorities of “deliberate neglect” and “reneging on medical commitments,” and argue the embassy has abandoned its responsibilities toward them. The embassy has not issued a detailed public statement addressing those specific allegations or the reported policy decisions that triggered the unrest.
Separately, the Halfa platform (an online local initiative) issued an urgent appeal to security and executive authorities over overcrowding and periodic scuffles outside the Egyptian consulate in Wadi Halfa, where people have reportedly queued since 3 a.m. to submit visa applications. The platform warned of potential safety risks and suggested the consulate accept 25 men and 25 women per day, publish the daily list of 50 approved applicants, and require everyone else to leave the area and return the following day.
