The Philippine government is struggling to evacuate Filipinos from Sudan despite a 72-hour ceasefire declared by warring factions fighting in the streets of Khartoum, the capital city.
Anthony Buhay and John Emil Deza, both Filipino workers in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, no longer waited for the assistance coming from the Philippine Embassy in Egypt, which has jurisdiction over Sudan, after renting buses just to take them out of the center of the clashes. In a Facebook post on late Monday night, Deza said they are making their "own efforts" to leave Khartoum.
"The French Crisis and Support Centre contacted them to locate them and proceed as quickly as possible to their evacuation," it added.
