The United States has started organising the evacuation of its nationals from Egypt, its embassy said in a statement today, as mass anti-government riots swept the country for a sixth day.
"The US embassy in Cairo informs US citizens in Egypt who wish to depart that the department of state is making arrangements to provide transportation to safehaven locations in Europe," it said.
Citizens will have to reimburse the cost of their charter flights, it said, advising Americans to send an email or call the state department to make arrangements.
