The Foreign Ministry is developing a comprehensive strategy to combat illegal immigration in Egypt in conjunction with the Armed Forces and state security, according to a ministry statement picked up by Al Masry Al Youm. The strategy will take a multi-pronged approach beyond the security element by pushing for the Illegal Immigration Act to be passed by the House of Representatives, in addition to an awareness campaign and social program for immigrants, said Nayla Gabr, head of the National Coordination Committee to Combat Illegal Immigration. Gabr had met with multiple House committees and other government officials to press forth the upcoming strategy.
