The Sudanese army says it's coordinating efforts to evacuate citizens and diplomats from the United States, Britain, China and France out of the country on military airplanes.
The Sudanese army said Saturday it was coordinating efforts to evacuate American, British, Chinese and French citizens and diplomats from Sudan on military aircraft, as the bloody fighting that has engulfed the vast African nation entered its second week.
The military said that its chief, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, had spoken to leaders of several countries who have requested safe evacuations of their citizens and diplomats from Sudan. The prospect has vexed officials as most major airports have become battlegrounds and movement out of the capital, Khartoum, has proven intensely dangerous.
Countries have struggled to repatriate their citizens amid deadly clashes that have killed over 400 people so far Burhan “agreed to provide the necessary assistance to secure such evacuations for various countries,” the military said. Questions have swirled over how the mass rescues of foreign citizens would unfold, with Sudan’s main international airport closed and millions of people sheltering indoors.
