The Foreign Ministry still has no plan to evacuate Indonesian citizens living in Egypt as political turmoil in the North African nation entered its sixth day on Sunday."No, there has not yet been (such a plan)," Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said on Sunday upon arrival at the city’s Halim Perdanakusuma airport from accompanying President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during a week-long visit to India and Switzerland.
Up till now the Indonesian citizens in Egypt were all safe, he said.
"Yesterday we issued a travel advisory to the Indonesian citizens who are currently living in Egypt and who are going to travel to the country," he said.
He said there are currently about 6,100 Indonesian citizens living in Egypt. According to the Indonesian Embassy in Egypt, the Indonesian citizens mostly live far away from the sites of rallies, most of which took place at the centers of cities and strategic places. After all, the embassy appealed to the Indonesian citizens, most of them students, to keep watch for latest developments in Egypt.
Thousands of people took to the streets in major cities in Egypt over the past few days to demand President Hosni Mubarak to step down and launch political reforms.
