With smiling and optimistic faces, 900 Sudanese departed the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Monday aboard a free train bound for war-torn Sudan.

Departing Egypt, Sudanese were lining up outside Ramses railway station, the central train station in Cairo, to begin a journey home in a train that takes them to the southern Egyptian city of Aswan, where they will take ferries and buses to enter Sudan.
