"The land is God's land, and the livelihood is in God's hands, little is enough and many are overflowing, and sedition is asleep, may God curse whoever woke it up," is the call made by the people of Aswan in Egypt to open homes and receive Sudanese fleeing death in a war that knows no end.

Despite attempts to sow discord on social media, when the crisis intensified and the drums of war sounded in the streets of Khartoum, Omdurman and other Sudanese governorates, unlimited support was the duty that the people of Aswan did not hesitate to adhere to towards Sudan and its people.

War brings together, it doesn't divide

After the spread of the hashtag of canceling the entry visa of Sudanese to Egypt, and the opening of the Arqin and Qastal crossings on the border between Egypt and Sudan, calls spread to welcome the displaced from Sudan to Aswan, as it will be the first city of passage for them, immediately the people of Aswan provided houses equipped to receive families from the Sudanese, as well as some community development associations opened hosting houses for displaced youth from Khartoum.

Says Baghdadi Shaibani (60 years) to the island net "poor slave of God under the order of any Sudanese family full residence provided that they were abandoned these days."

Homes for displaced people in Sudan

"Any Sudanese family who came to Aswan and did not have housing, please come to me with honorable boosters, without any amounts, for a whole month until their conditions improve," wrote Esmat Farouk, an Egyptian citizen living in Aswan, on the Facebook group "Together for Aswan."

Despite the poor economic conditions experienced by most of the Egyptian people, and the successive waves of high prices, and the collapse of the local currency, "the people of Aswan are ready to share the bite," says Esmat Farouk to Al Jazeera Net, adding that "some people are worried about the lack of livelihood and high prices of services, because of the influx of displaced Sudanese in the coming days, but God is with us all, and no one knows what the unseen has in store for all of us."

The Nubian people opened their homes to help the Sudanese, says the Nubian Mustafa Adel, that the sons of "Daboud, Dahmit, Amberkab and Abu Hor" of the famous Nuba families, will open the houses of the village of Karkar, which is located on Abu Simbel Road, to host the Sudanese until the end of the war, especially since most of the owners of these houses reside in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez, and most of them are closed for years. Adel describes the relationship between the Egyptian and Sudanese peoples as "stronger than any racism and that what the Nile unites is not divided by grudges that have special interests."

Four Freedoms Convention

At a time when calls have spread to grant Sudanese the right to enter Egyptian territory without a visa, some have called for activating the Four Freedoms Agreement, which the Egyptian side concluded with its Sudanese counterpart in 2004, and stipulated freedom of movement, residence, work and ownership, and the agreement grants Egyptian and Sudanese citizens the right to move to the other country, reside and work in it, and buy and own real estate and land.

So far, the agreement has not been fully implemented despite the approval of the Egyptian and Sudanese parliaments, and despite the steady increase in the number of Sudanese in Egypt, which according to the UNHCR is estimated at about 5 million Sudanese, including 250,9 registered refugees and asylum seekers, which is the largest number of the total <> million refugees hosted by Egypt, according to a Human Rights Watch report on the situation of Sudanese refugees in Egypt.
