Saudi Arabia sends Egypt its condolences over death of embassy staff


Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry offered Egypt its condolences over the death of an embassy staff member in Sudan.

The Egyptian foreign ministry announced in a statement that its assistant administrative attache at the embassy in Khartoum Mohammed al-Gharrawi was killed on Monday.

Al-Gharrawi, the statement said, was killed as he was “heading from his home to the embassy in order to follow up on the evacuation process of Egyptian nationals in Sudan.”

The ministry mourned al-Gharrawi as a “martyr” and a “symbol of sacrifice” for the sake of Egypt, adding that the mission in Sudan will continue to carry out its responsibilities in the evacuation process.

Saudi Arabia expressed its “sincere condolences and sympathy” to Egypt over the incident, the ministry said in a statement early Tuesday.
