Jordanians in Egypt safe: Ambassador

14-08-2013 03:42 PM


Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - No incidents of Jordanians in Egypt being hurt were reported to the Jordanian Embassy in Cairo, amid a day of violence witnessed as Egyptian military cracked down on Pro-Mursi supporters.

Jordanian Ambassador to Egypt Bishr Khasawneh told Ammon News on Wednesday afternoon that no Jordanian has been hurt in Egypt, stressing that Jordanian nationals in the neighboring country are safe.

Khasawneh, who is currently in Amman for medical reasons, said that he is in constant communication with the Jordanian Embassy in Cairo, who on their part informed the Ambassador that no incidents have been reported by Jordanians residing or visiting Egypt.

The ambassador said that the Embassy and consulate's operations rooms are working around the clock to provide any help for Jordanians currently in Egypt.

He noted that the number of Jordanians currently in Jordan dropped, especially that students studying in Egyptian universities are on their summer break, with the exception of 6 October University, where the summer semester is still in session.

Khasawneh called on Jordanians to remain distant from locations witnessing large gatherings and violence.

Over 30 people were killed on Wednesday as Egyptian military forces moved in to clear camps of Cairo protesters demanding the reinstatement of deposed president Mohammad Mursi.

Police and military forces used live gunfire and tear gas to disperse crowds from Rabaa al-Adawiya in Cairo and Al Nahda in Giza, where pro-Mursi protesters have camped for weeks.
