The Indian Embassy in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, has created a WhatsApp group to facilitate the repatriation of Indians living in the country. According to sources in the Ministry of External Affairs, Indians trapped in war situations are being contacted through the group, and vehicles are being arranged to bring them to Port Sudan.
There are more than 3,000 Indian nationals working in various fields in Sudan. The Indian government became concerned about their safety on April 15, following reports of violence involving the Rapid Support Force (RSF) in various areas of the country, including the capital Khartoum.
Many of the Indians who have been evacuated from Sudan reported being threatened with violence by RSF forces. An Indian employee of a corporate organization in Khartoum said, "The army entered our office and ransacked it. We were held hostage for about 8 hours."
Despite the challenges, the Indian government remains committed to bringing its citizens home safely. So far, a total of 534 people have been evacuated to Jeddah, with more rescue missions expected in the coming days. However, with the recent resumption of fighting in Sudan, the situation remains volatile and uncertain.
