Egypt unblocks BBC and Al Arabiya following Sudan coverage

Journalists in Egypt are reporting that Egyptian authorities have unblocked the BBC and Al Arabiya news channels after both websites covered the capture of Egyptian troops in Sudan.

Late on Saturday, Egypt confirmed that the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group had captured Egyptian troops in Sudan.

The RSF said it would cooperate with Egyptian authorities to return the soldiers who had "surrendered" themselves upon capture. Cairo did not explain why Egyptian troops were in Sudan.
