MOGADISHU, 10 November 2026 - Somalia has sent condolences to the government and people of Egypt after a train crash in Giza on Sunday that killed and injured people.
“Somalia stands in solidarity with brotherly Egypt at this difficult time,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday. “We pray that Allah grants mercy to those who lost their lives and patience to their families, and we wish the injured a swift and full recovery.”
Seven people were killed and 112 injured in the crash, according to Egypt’s health ministry.
The collision happened when a Giza-to-Fayoum train crashed into the rear of a stationary Cairo-to-Aswan train in the Al-Ayyat area south of Cairo, derailing several carriages, Egyptian authorities said.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered an urgent investigation to “hold accountable anyone found to have been negligent.”
