The Egyptian government is funding train rides to Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, which recently was recaptured by the Sudanese Armed Forces from its rival, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. The RSF took Khartoum at the start of the fighting in 2023 and held the capital until the government declared its recapture on May 20. The journey from Cairo to Khartoum is about 2,080 kilometers (1,292 miles) and will include a train ride of about 12 hours to the southern Egyptian city of Aswan, where riders will change to ferries and buses to cross into Sudan.
