400 Sudanese security men to be trained in Egypt

A 107-strong group of Sudanese security men arrived at Cairo International Airport yesterday to attend a security training course in Cairo.

The group is the third batch of 400 Sudanese security men to receive training in Egypt before being deployed in the troubled western Sudanese region of Darfur.

Sources at the Ministry of Interior said that the training comes as part of a security protocol signed between the two countries to help the Sudanese government restore peace and stability in the war-torn region.

The several weeks' training course follows the departure of 135 Sudanese policemen who completed their training as part of the same program.
