- Khartoum has said the hostages have not been harmed and it has no intention of storming the area “so as to preserve the lives of the kidnapped persons.
- Kidnappings of foreigners are rare in Egypt, although in 2001 an armed Egyptian held four German tourists hostage for three days in the Nile resort of Luxor, demanding that his estranged wife bring his two sons back from Germany.
