âNobody to Blame for Sudanese Deathsâ
| Yeah. Just forget about them. Just a bunch of Africans. Lots more where they came from. They don't feel pain like we do. They don't mind being dead... |
The death of Sudanese migrants killed when police evicted them from a Cairo park last week was âvery sadâ but nobody was to blame, the spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said yesterday. Astrid Von Gendren Stort told a press conference that the UN agency had asked the Egyptian government to bring the park protest to an end, but without resorting to force. On Friday, squads of riot police evicted more than a thousand Sudanese migrants from a small park where they had camped for three months in a protest against what they saw as the UN agencyâs failure to help resettle them. After showering the squatters with water canon and negotiating with their leaders, the police stormed the park swinging truncheons.
