Quote: December 23, 2010 (CAIRO) – Southern Sudanese passengers traveling from Egypt to Juba via Khartoum have told Sudan Tribune that they were verbally abused by staff at Cairo airport on December 22. After their flight was delayed and they asked for information the Southern Sudanese passengers say they were called "slaves" by airport workers and security personnel. The passengers had already been delayed by more than four hours in Cairo without proper information. At 2PM there was an argument between passengers destined for Juba and those flying to Khartoum. Passengers were told that the plane would fly on to Juba first before returning to Khartoum due to the delay, as otherwise it would be too late to arrive in the southern capital before sunset. One of the passengers described the situation at airport as northern Sudanese being on one side with southerners on the other. In January, the mainly Christian south is expected vote to become independent from the predominantly Islamic north in a referendum, which was agreed as part of a 2005 peace deal. By the time the dispute was resolved - 3PM – it was too late for the plane to arrive in Juba before sunset so the Juba passengers were removed from the plane and taken to a waiting area while the Khartoum passengers flew to Khartoum. The passengers told Sudan Tribune that because of heat and lack of water, small children started crying and people started complaining. It was at this point they say they were verbally abused and called "slaves" by airport staff. At around 7PM the passengers were paid EGP 900.00 (USD 160.70) each as compensation for the delay, and they were taken to the Baron Hotel and were scheduled to leave to Juba on Friday, December 24. Speaking about the incident, an official from the Government of Southern Sudan office in Cairo told Sudan Tribune, “if the Egypt Air flight to Juba is intended to insult South Sudanese and to humiliate them, please stop Egypt Air flights to Juba! As prior to initiating Egypt Air flight to Juba, Southerners are using Ethiopian Airlines, and they were never insulted and humiliated. “Egypt Air has to stop their mentality of mistreatment and harassment towards South Sudanese black people if they really wanted good relationship with South Sudan, or otherwise there is no need for Egypt Air to schedule its flights to Juba as this date. And I urge our fellow South Sudanese brothers and sisters in Europe and USA to avoid traveling to Juba through Egypt, but via Kenya or Uganda to avoid Egyptian humiliation and harassment.” There was also an incident in the first week of December when over 15 Southern Sudanese holding American passports traveling to on their way from the USA to Juba where delayed in Cairo when they were asked to get off the plane. The passengers were travelling by Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) to Cairo, where they were supposed to get a connecting flight to Juba. They had boarded an Egypt Air flight to Juba, but after half an hour, they were told to get off and told that the plane was not flying to Juba and put up in various hotels in Egypt’s capital city. The following day one of the passengers changed his flight and wanted to fly to Juba, but he was barred unless he obtained visa from Sudan Embassy in Cairo. This delayed the passenger for a further five days in Cairo. Egypt Air started its bi-weekly flights to Juba in June.
