Dec 30, 2005 (UNITED NATIONS) — UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan was deeply saddened to learn of the violent deaths of a number of Sudanese migrants in Cairo today as a result of clashes with police.
Their deaths are a terrible tragedy that cannot be justified, said the Spokesman for the Secretary-General.
Annan extends his heartfelt sympathies to the families of all of those who were killed and injured.
He expresses his profound regret that this situation was not resolved peacefully and through dialogue, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees had strongly urged.
