The two rival forces battling for control in Sudan have both said they are ready to help evacuate foreign nationals, raising hopes international powers could soon rescue stranded citizens after a week of fighting
In a statement, Sudan’s army said it had agreed to facilitate the evacuation of nationals and diplomats from a number of countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, France and China. Evacuations are expected to begin “within the coming hours,” according to the statement. On Friday, the Rapid Support Forces said they were ready to partially reopen all airports in Sudan to air traffic to allow countries to evacuate their nationals.
A spokesperson for the European Union said that estimated 1,500 citizens from various EU countries are currently in Sudan. “They are facing a very difficult situation and their safety is a priority. We urge both sides to stop fighting and allow for safe passage out of the country,” the spokesperson said, adding the EU was working with member states to find solutions and get these people out of the country. It is unclear how many US citizens are in Sudan.
