The United Arab Emirates has started evacuating its citizens and nationals from various countries from Sudan, giving priority to the vulnerable groups such as the sick, children, the elderly, and women.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) said that in line with its commitments to humanitarian assistance and strengthening global cooperation and solidarity, “the UAE has provided hosting and care services for 19 different nationalities during its evacuation operation to the city of Port Sudan, in preparation for facilitating departures.”
The ministry noted that the evacuees will be hosted in the UAE before being sent back to their home countries.
Moreover, the MoFAIC highlighted its commitment with its partners and the international community towards the common good for the Sudanese people.
It also underscored the importance of “intensifying efforts to secure a ceasefire and to return to the political process and dialogue to achieve progress in the transitional phase, in order to reach the desired political stability and security in Sudan.”
