No Food, Water, Electricity In Sudan – Over 4000 Nigerian Students Caught In Ongoing Crisis, Seek EvacuationNo fewer than 4000 Nigerian students are stranded in Sudan following the ongoing crisis in the country.
The crisis in Sudan seems to be aggravating with explosions and gunfire rocking the capital on Thursday as fighting between the forces of two rival generals continued ahead of festivities marking the end of Ramadan. The association had earlier written to the Nigerian government crying that its members were stranded in Sudan with no access to basic needs.“We hereby write, soliciting and yearning for the Nigerian government’s intercession to rescue and send for an immediate evacuation of the Nigerian students that are stuck in the centre of the ongoing war,” the letter written to the Nigerian government read in part.
Yusuf, an indigene of Kano State, added that there is a danger ahead if they are not quickly repatriated because they had no access to health centres and pharmacies.
