CAIRO: The 11 Egyptians who were part of the crew aboard M.V. Suez and released along with their colleagues arrived home on Friday, an airport official said.
They thanked Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Al Arabi for his efforts in securing their freedom, and criticised the government of ousted president Hosni Mubarak for having neglected them, the official said.
The crew also thanked Pakistan for its help in securing the release of the Egyptian-registered ship.
Chief engineer Wael Salah told the official MENA news agency that the crew had endured “all kinds of humiliation by the pirates.”
“Thank God I returned home and reunited with my family,” he said.—AFP
