MOGADISHU (Halbeeg News) – At least seventy Somali nationals have been evacuated from war-torn Sudan as the Somali government tries to get its nationals back to Somalia.
Somali Community in South Sudan has organized the repatriation of their compatriots and some South Sudanese who fled the war in Sudan to Juba.
The 75 evacuees mostly students were stranded at Paloch Airport in Upper Nile state.
They were among the first civilians to arrive in South Sudan following the battle in Khartoum.
Abdallah Hassan who is the Chief Executive Director of the Somali Business community in South Sudan says the body arranged flights for its fellow nationals after learning their whereabouts through Eye Radio.
“We evacuated about 75 Somila National including South Sudanese citizens. We heard about them through an Eye radio station report and a photo from Polach,”
“Most of them are students. They will be here for some time, and we shall assess the situation and observe the war in Sudan and if it doesn’t stop, then we will take them to Somalia,” said Hassan.
