The Embassy of India in Khartoum said that one of the most herculean tasks of bringing Indians stranded in El Fashir in Sudan was achieved on Thursday. In a series of tweets, the Indian Embassy said it mobilised its resources and coordinated with various stakeholders in conflict zones to ensure safe travel for its citizens over an arduous journey of over 1800 kilometres. Two buses from El Fashir in Western Sudan carrying 80 Indians reached Port Sudan, which is in East Sudan, safely after travelling for more than 48 hours.
Around three thousand six hundred Indians have been evacuated from Sudan so far. The Embassy of India mobilised and facilitated the movement of 67 buses from various parts of Sudan to reach Port Sudan. So far, Indians have moved out of Port Sudan using five Indian Naval Ships and sixteen Indian Air Force aircraft including one from Wadi Sayyidna military airbase.
