Egypt deports 23 Darfuri to Sudan
November 8, 2008 (LONDON) — Egyptian authorities deported 23 Sudanese to Khartoum where they arrived handcuffed on Friday, said a Darfuri rights organization today.
The deportees, who are all from western Sudan region of Darfur, were arrested in El Arish of the Sinai peninsula, not far from the Israeli border on August 26 this year.
According to the Darfur Democratic Forum, they were transported to Cairo where they had been interrogated beaten and tortured before to hand them over to the Sudanese embassy which organized their departure to Sudan.
The rights organization denounced the move saying it contravenes the international humanitarian law and the other international human rights conventions.
In what can be described as a routine, Egyptian police killed last month 2 Darfuris attempting to cross illegally to Israel. Also this month one was killed till now.
Up to last August, Egypt arrested around 172 Sudanese trying to make their way into Israel. Also more than 19 were killed.
The porous 250-kilometre (155-mile) Egypt-Israel border has become a major transit route for migrants, asylum-seekers.

Egypt deports 23 Darfuri to Sudan
This is the serious issues over Darfuri Asylum Seekers for life threatenings over their precious life. Since, Egypt and Sudan overwhelming Darfuri life, since they came back from ISRAEL, they should look forwards via Australia, The U.S.A., even to South Africa or Jordan and IRAQ for their safe heaven…
The Referendum DARFUR 2011!
ISRAEL should take Darfuri D.N.A. samples, they might have Y-chronosome DNA, they might be the one of the Lost Tribes of ISRAEL. Since the Ethiopian Jews are identified as the Tribe of DAN, one of the ten lost tribes of Israel, declared by a Sephardic Rabbi. Ovadiah Yusef, a IRAQI MOROCCAN JEW in JERUSALEM, ISRAEL.
The Darfuri are more like from Tribe of GAD…RUBEN…SIMEON.
No matter of fact, in the New Testament, who were identified as a dark complexion man; Simon of Cyrene helpes Jesus to carry his cross. The Cyrene is the old name of Libya, and the South of Libya is Darfur.
