“It’s late in the night. Will get a clearer view in the morning. But in that dark shot are buses that will convey Nigerian students to nearby borders in Egypt. More buses are arriving. A bit of some logistics delay but all now sorted by @nemanigeria and the Nig mission, Sudan”, she tweeted.

The evacuation is taking place on the backdrop of a three-day ceasefire declared by the warring parties, the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Force.

The ceasefire started at midnight Tuesday.

]]> Saudi Arabia has confirmed it had evacuated over 150 people from Sudan on Saturday.

Diplomats and nationals from the UK, US, France and China are to be evacuated from Sudan by air as fighting there continues, a statement from the Sudanese army says.

Army chief Fattah al-Burhan agreed to facilitate and secure their evacuation “in the coming hours”, it said.

In Nigeria, the Federal Government has set up a committee to facilitate the rescue of its citizens from that country.

Head of Press Unit, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Manzo Ezekiel said the committee consists of professional emergency responders as well as search and rescue experts.

According to the NEMA official, the agency is working with other relevant bodies and stakeholders, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Nigerian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), and security agencies “while seeking for an appropriate window of opportunity to evacuate all stranded Nigerians back home in a safe and dignified manner”.

Fierce street battles erupted in Khartoum on 15 April after disagreements emerged between the leaders of both sides – General Burhan and the RSF’s Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo – over how Sudan should be run.

They both held top positions in Sudan’s current military government, formed after the 2019 coup that ousted long-time leader Omar al-Bashir.

They were supposed to merge their forces but the RSF resisted this change, mobilising its troops which escalated into full-scale fighting last week.

The World Health Organization says more than 400 people have been killed. The death toll is believed to be much higher as people struggle to reach hospitals.

]]> A video that shows the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, urinating on himself during the commissioning of a road has gone viral on social media. 

Many people have been shocked by the video and have criticized it because African leaders are notorious for continuing to serve in office despite being ill or getting older, Daily Dates Nigeria reports.

In the now-viral video, Salva, 71, who served as Sudan’s First Vice President from 2005 to 2011, can be seen standing with other elected leaders while singing the national anthem and peeing on himself.

The politician from South Sudan realized right away that he had urinated on himself, and he turned to peek down his pants while his aides could be seen doing the same.
