Early efforts involving the Hope Committee for Voluntary Return and the Al-Aziziyah Cross-Border Land Transport Company successfully facilitated the return of approximately 50,000 people. To assist those affected by conflict, transport companies reduced ticket prices and provided free bus services for families unable to afford travel. Subsequent operations by the Al-Amal Committee for Voluntary Return have continued to move groups of Sudanese nationals from Cairo via bus. These initiatives have also prioritized the academic sector, with plans to transport approximately 15,000 university students and 500 professors to support the upcoming academic year. Officials noted that these returnees are expected to contribute to reconstruction and stability efforts within Sudan. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: Sudanese nationals return from Egypt to Sudan via voluntary program The Al-Amal Committee for Voluntary Return facilitated the movement of 882 Sudanese nationals from Cairo to Sudan via 18 buses as part of ongoing repatriation and reconstruction efforts. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sudanese-nationals-return-from-egypt-to-sudan-via-voluntary-program ### 2026-08-08: Sudanese repatriation initiatives facilitate returns from Egypt and Libya Over 50,000 Sudanese nationals have returned home from Egypt via the Hope Committee and Al-Aziziyah Transport, supported by discounted and free bus services to assist war-affected families. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sudanese-repatriation-initiatives-facilitate-returns-from-egypt-and-libya --- Cite as: Sudanese voluntary repatriation from Egypt and Libya.
