Egypt: Sudanese in Egypt stage hunger strike at UN office

About 750 Sudanese exiles went on hunger strike outside U.N. offices in Cairo on Saturday to back demands to receive assistance, rather than be repatriated. They said five people, including three children, had died in the camp and that many suffered from malnutrition and disease.The UNHCR said in a statement that Sudanese in Egypt were generally not fleeing persecution or violence, but were economic migrants hoping for resettlement in the West.
