Nigerians studying in Sudan have written the Nigerian government to evacuate all its citizens trapped there, especially in the capital city of Khartoum where the military and paramilitary are fighting.
This is coming after some days since the fight had started, which left hundreds either killed or injured.
Reports have indicated that thousands of people are trapped in the city of Khartoum with no access to basic needs like food and medicine.
The National Association of Nigerian Students in Sudan made this request in a letter to the federal government.
The letter reads, “We write this to Nigerian Government in respect to the current and ongoing conflict that erupts between the Sudan military and paramilitary forces in these past days; particularly in Khartoum, the capital city where constant gunfire, explosions and airstrike attacks dominate its vicinity and environs (where a score of Nigerian Students study).
“2. The Nigerian Students have been stranded in fears with no access to basic needs equipment and have been facing dangerous threats. We hereby write soliciting and yearning for the Nigerian Government’s intercession to rescue and send for an immediate evacuation of the Nigerian students that are stuck in the center of the ongoing war.
“3. We strongly hope that our call for rescue to our dear nation Nigeria will be responded to with immediate effect.
