A total of 17 people, including three children and one injured who were stranded in Sudan due to the hostilities, left Djibouti yesterday and arrived via Aswan, Egypt at about 10:30′ in the 112th Fighter Wing in Elefsina.
Yesterday, the Greek delegation, led by the Deputy Minister of National Defense, Nikos Hardalia, landed with a C-27J Spartan transport aircraft of the Air Force at the airport of Djibouti.
There, they were welcomed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Djibouti, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, the head of the European Union delegation in Djibouti, Sylvie Tabesse, and the Greek ambassador to Ethiopia, Anna Farou.
“Everyone was at risk. There was no security”, stressed Christos Dedes, who explained that buildings were set on fire, while there were stray bullets flying everywhere.
The start of the hostilities had many difficulties, since when they started, no one knew where the battles would take place, and all sides had very heavy weapons, as he said.
He said he was very happy and thanked the air force and the army, while he expressed the hope that the others would be lucky and return soon.
