Jordanian citizens and other nationals who were evacuated from Sudan, arrive at Marka Military Airport, in Amman, Jordan April 24, 2023. REUTERSPIX: The armed forces of the United States and the United Kingdom have evacuated embassy staff from Sudan, while other nations rushed to get their citizens to safety as rival military factions battled in the capital Khartoum yesterday.
France said a French plane carrying around a hundred people including the European Union delegation in Khartoum along with other nationalities had left for Djibouti, and a second plane with a similar number aboard was due to take off shortly. Canada had also extracted its diplomats and was trying to support its local staff, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.
“We did not take any small-arms fire on the way in and were able to get in and out without issue,” said Lieutenant General Douglas Sims.Sudan’s sudden collapse into warfare has dashed plans to restore civilian rule, brought an already impoverished country to the brink of humanitarian disaster, and threatened a wider conflict that could draw in outside powers.
Reuters was able to confirm the location, but was not able to independently verify the date the video was filmed.
