The UAE's emergency, crisis, and disaster management team in Sharjah, in unison with the Sharjah Civil Aviation Department, extended vital support and hospitality to thirteen Sudanese nationals who found themselves stranded at Sharjah International Airport due to the tumultuous events unfolding in Khartoum, and the subsequent closure of its international airport.
The team swiftly coordinated with partners such as Sharjah Charity International and UAE Red Crescent Authority to provide support and high-end hotel accommodation. General Al-Shamsi closely monitored procedures with the Department of Civil Aviation in Sharjah, for safe return of travelers.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Thursday that the coordinated efforts with the UAE allowed for the successful transfer of the remaining group of Egyptian troops who were in Sudan with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to the Embassy of Egypt in Khartoum.
More than 150 people, including foreign diplomats and officials, rescued from battle-scarred Sudan arrived Saturday in Jeddah, the Saudi foreign ministry said, in the first announced evacuation of civilians since fighting began.
The evacuation was carried out by the kingdom’s naval forces with the support of other branches of the army, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia “worked to provide all the necessary needs of foreign nationals” ahead of their departure to their respective countries, the statement added.
Clashes erupted on April 15 between forces loyal to Burhan and those of his deputy-turned-rival Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
