NANS Seek Quick Evacuation Of Nigerian Students In Sudan

The National Association of Nigerian Students in Sudan has called for the prompt evacuation of Nigerian students who are trapped in the middle of a military-paramilitary conflict that has killed over 270 people and displaced others.

According to a statement signed by the NANS executive on Wednesday night, Nigerian students have been stranded in terror, with no access to basic necessities and facing grave threats.

Furthermore, the letter expressed hope that our cry for Nigeria’s rescue would be heard immediately.

Thousands of civilians have fled Sudan’s capital, according to ANAEDOONLINE, while other governments are attempting to evacuate their citizens as the war enters its fifth day.

The war also made President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), take a longer flight path to avoid the Sudanese airspace due to ongoing conflict between the military and the members of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
