Buses evacuating South African nationals from Sudan arrives at Egypt border
Two buses evacuating South African nationals from Sudan have arrived safely at the border with Egypt, Spokesperson the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) said on Tuesday.
“We have officials from the SA Embassy in Egypt to receive them & facilitate their entry into Egypt. SA government will pay for their flights back to SA,” spokesman Clayson Monyela wrote on Twitter.
“There are 12 more nationals that will leave Sudan today. With this, everyone we know of will be accounted for.” Monyela said earlier this week that 77 South African nationals were stuck in Sudan. Four South Africans did not arrive at the agreed pick-up location.
According to the Gift of the Givers team working with DIRCO, a third bus has been arranged for the four South Africans left behind.
“So far, we know of six South Africans who arrived in Port Sudan, three in Djibouti, two who chose not to leave, one near a mine somewhere still deciding what to do, and we believe some are in South Sudan,” says Gift of the Givers’ Imtiaz Sooliman.
