Evacuation plan for South Africans in Sudan is 'far advanced': South Africa's embassy staff are battling danger and logistics while helping make plans to evacuate citizens from war-torn Sudan.

The latest number of verified South Africans stuck in Sudan is 77, he said.“Complaints of inconsistent/little/no communication from the team is noted. However, they've run out of diesel. There's no electricity and therefore poor network coverage. They've since found a way to recharge batteries and will update South Africans regarding evacuation plans.“Fighting hasn't stopped, so it remains a dangerous and risky operation.

“The airport is closed and all routes are not risk free. Government is doing everything possible to get our nationals out. Without revealing security plans, there's an option that is being implemented.”
