When my editor, Ahmed Shekarau, received a text message from, perhaps, one of Peoples Daily readers on January 30, as is usual with him, he forwarded it to me and asked me to work on it. The text message went thus: "Urgent SOS (Save-Our-Soul) message.  Pls, help us tell Foreign Ministry and Presidency, hundreds of Nigerians trapped at Cairo Airport. Most came here for medical reasons. Since yesterday, Egypt Air has sent many flights to Europe, but not one to African countries. We face real humiliation here. Please help."
