cypriots tanzania — cypriots tanzania — Efforts are ongoing to bring home 22 Cypriots trapped in Tanzania, as confirmed by ministry spokesman Theodoros Gotsis on Sunday. Among them are 14 teenage students from a private school in Nicosia, who were in the country for a volunteer programme. They are currently accompanied by four adults.
Gotsis assured that the group is safe, being located far from any areas of unrest. The foreign ministry has been in regular contact with the parents of the students to provide updates on their situation.
To facilitate the safe return of those stranded in Tanzania, the Cypriot authorities are coordinating with the UNHCR in Nairobi. They are also reaching out to the EU delegation in Tanzania to assist in the repatriation process.
In light of the ongoing unrest in the region, Gotsis has urged any other Cypriots currently in Tanzania to make contact with the authorities. The foreign ministry issued a travel advisory last Friday, warning Cypriots to exercise caution if travelling to Tanzania due to the volatile situation.
Citizens in Tanzania have been advised to reach out for assistance through the contact numbers provided in the advisory. The high commission in Kenya can be reached at +254 111051430, while the ministry in Cyprus can be contacted at +357 22 651113, +357 22 801000, or +357 97 775998. Cypriots are also encouraged to register with the online platform Connect2CY to ensure they stay connected while abroad.
