Thousands of Sudanese smuggle into Egypt to escape conflict amid tight visa rules

Thousands of Sudanese cross the border to Egypt every month to escape the fighting between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
With strict visa rules and long waits for official crossings, many turn to smuggling. The journey is fraught with challenges, including scarce resources and vehicle breakdowns. Despite the dangers, this route is often preferred over official paths due to its perceived efficiency. The Sudanese conflict has triggered a severe displacement crisis, forcing countless individuals to seek safety throught the perilous means.
