Fighting in Sudan enters a second week as truce breaks
The HinduEvacuations of foreign nationals in battle-scarred Sudan got underway on April 22 as fighting between the forces of rival generals in the capital Khartoum entered a second week following a brief lull. "The first evacuation vessel from Sudan has arrived, carrying 50 citizens and a number of nationals from friendly countries," the official Al-Ekhbariyah television said. Earlier on April 22, Sudan's Army said its chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had received calls from leaders of multiple countries to "facilitate and guarantee safety for evacuating citizens and diplomatic missions". Though it is not possible to verify which airports the RSF controls, Gen. Burhan on April 22 told Al-Arabiya TV that the Army was in control of "all airports, except for Khartoum airport" and one in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur.
