Bangladeshis to be evacuated from Sudan: Shahriar Alam

Wednesday, 26 April 2023


State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam has said a decision has been made to evacuate Bangladeshi nationals from Sudan with the help of other countries, reports UNB.
"The Bangladesh Embassy in Khartoum has already started spreading this message among the Bangladeshis living there," he wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
The situation in Sudan will dictate how the evacuations will be carried out, he said.
The state minister urged the Bangladeshi nationals in Sudan to follow the instructions provided by the embassy and complete registration.
He also urged the media to not contact the embassy regarding the evacuation route as it will be confidential given the situation in Sudan.
Meanwhile, a number of Bangladeshi nationals were evacuated by the Royal Saudi Naval Forces.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had issued a notification advising Bangladeshi nationals not to travel to Sudan due to uncertainties caused by the current situation there.
According to the notification, it is not safe for Bangladeshi nationals to travel to Sudan now as the conflict continues in Khartoum and various parts of the country, including Khartoum airport.
