Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called upon Egyptians to avoid dealing with officially unregistered persons or organisations that work to facilitate illegal migration.
A statement by the Ministry said that it has been recently observed that irresponsible organisations or persons who operate outside the law have been abusing the desire of those wishing to travel to and work in European countries by facilitating illegal travel to Europe then abandoning passengers to harsh, inhumane conditions in frontier countries where they face serious security and legal hazards.
The Foreign Ministry urged Egyptians who wish to travel to or work in Europe to avoid doing so illegally, given that this would place them under legal questioning in Europe, and lead to their deportation.
The Ministry also urged Egyptians who had already dealt with facilitators of illegal migration to directly inform the relevant authorities in Egypt of the details so that legal action may be promptly taken. It advised that those wishing to migrate should inquire about the right way to travel to any country by communicating with the consular sector of Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
