Two Philippine diplomats figured in a car accident while on the way to assist in the evacuation of Filipinos in Sudan amid deadly fighting between its military and paramilitary forces. Philippine Ambassador to Egypt Ezzedin Tago and Vice Consul Bojer Capati were involved in an accident as they were heading to the Egyptian border with Sudan, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) spokesperson Ma. Teresita Daza said Wednesday. DFA Undersecretary Eduardo Jose de Vega said Tago and Capati's vehicle rolled over twice while rushing for their operation. The two were unhurt, the two officials said. Tago has already returned to Cairo, according to Daza, and will be flying again to the border "to facilitate the entry of  Filipino evacuees to Egypt." Meanwhile, Capati will do the same after getting clearance from the hospital, de Vega said. The two Egypt-based diplomats are carrying out the operations after at least 350 Filipinos in Sudan requested for rescue and evacuations as the warring factions declared a 72-hour ceasefire. The Philippine Embassy in Cairo has jurisdiction over Khartoum, which is located over 2,000 kilometers away. The government is struggling to get Filipinos out of Sudan due to "scarcity" of available buses and their "increasing rental prices," the DFA said. But so far, 80 Filipinos were already evacuated while seven buses have already been contracted for Filipino evacuees, DFA added.
