According to various sources, Egyptian authorities now require Syrians with European, American, or Canadian residencies to obtain security clearance before they can enter the country. This new regulation appears to apply even to individuals who had previously been able to travel to Egypt freely.
Samo Zein is one of the notable figures who has spoken publicly about the issue. He shared his personal experience of being stopped at the airport, where he was caught off guard by the new requirement. Despite holding residency abroad, he was denied entry into Egypt, sparking both public sympathy and outrage over the situation.
The new policy has drawn mixed reactions from the public. Some argue that such measures are long overdue, claiming that stricter entry regulations might encourage Syrians to return to their homeland and contribute to rebuilding efforts.
For many Syrians, this decision adds yet another hurdle to their already complex lives. Social media has become a platform for people to share their grievances and confusion.
