Mogadishu (Somalistandard) – The Somali government has announced it evacuated 27 Somalis who had fled the ongoing conflict in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum
The evacuees, including four women, were reportedly transported to Ethiopia after crossing the border town of Metema.
According to an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somalia, thousands of Somalis, including students and businessmen, are currently stranded in Sudan, where they are at risk of being killed due to the ongoing conflict.
The conflict in Sudan is pitting between Abdel Fattah Burhan, the head of the armed forces, and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, the commander of RSF.
The situation in Sudan has become increasingly volatile, with other countries evacuating their citizens early on.
Despite the Ethiopian government allowing Somalis to enter the country, many remain stuck on the border between Sudan and Ethiopia.
The Somali government has stated that it is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens both at home and abroad, and this latest action is a testament to that commitment.
