The UAE denies rumors about canceling the residency of Egyptian workers

An Emirati official stressed that his country continues to focus on dealing with developments in the region, at a time when rumors were circulating about the cancellation of the residency of a number of Egyptian workers. Egyptians denied these allegations, noting that any individual cases were linked to violations of residency rules. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the UAE authorities are not targeting Egyptians, and that the ongoing procedures are a general review of residency permits. This comes in light of updates in bilateral relations between the two countries, with continued cooperation in regional affairs.

Media sources had mentioned the cancellation of the residency of a number of Egyptian workers, before the official denial came. Social interaction around the topic remains tense, with questioning about the causes and possible effects of these rumours.
