The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has issued an urgent call for all its nationals in Sudan, across all states, including those not affected by armed clashes, to promptly leave the country.
The ministry has advised against any travel by Egyptian citizens to Sudan under the current circumstances, prioritizing their safety.
In a move to ensure the security and safety of its citizens, particularly in areas experiencing military conflicts, Egypt has evacuated a number of its students stranded in the city of Wad Madani in Sudan’s Al Jazirah state.
The Egyptian embassy in Sudan successfully orchestrated the evacuation of 18 students, along with some of their guardians, from Wad Madani, recently engulfed in armed conflicts.
The ministry stated that coordination with Sudanese authorities was undertaken to secure the safe passage of these Egyptian students from the city to Egypt’s consulate in Port Sudan, from where they were transported to the Egyptian border, ensuring their safe return home.
As battles between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) escalate and spread to new regions in central and western Sudan, political forces are sounding the alarm about the conflict turning into a full-scale war that could fragment Sudan into multiple entities.
The city of Babanusa in West Kordofan has been witnessing fierce fighting since Tuesday, as the Rapid Support Forces attempt to penetrate the city following their control over the nearby Al-Muglad.
Meanwhile, the warring factions continue to exchange artillery fire in the cities of Al-Daein and Al-Fashir in the Darfur region, with violence against civilians persisting in the states of Al Jazirah, Sennar, and the capital, Khartoum.
The Sudanese Congress Party has condemned the expansion of military operations across various Sudanese towns and villages, criticizing the spread of the Rapid Support Forces and the ongoing aerial bombardments.
