Philippines Orders Nationals to Leave Egypt

Local Editor

The Philippine authorities ordered on Tuesday its 6,000 nationals to mandatorily leave Egypt after its Foreign Minister Albert Del Rosario visited the country early this week to check the security situation there.

Rosario also ordered the deployment of a special team to Cairo to help speed the repatriation of the Filipinos, who he urged to contact their embassy.

"The marked deterioration of peace and order in Egypt, exacerbated by the ongoing political instability and grave security challenges in that country, make working and living there increasingly difficult and dangerous," The Foreign Ministry stated.

Last week, the Philippine government stressed its nationals to voluntarily leave Egypt, but on Tuesday escalated its urgency to order the mandatory repatriation due to the bloody violence in Egypt that left almost 900 dead.
