Sudan is in the grip of violent clashes, between exchanges of fire and strong explosions. Thousands of foreigners, including French, are still stuck there and waiting to be evacuated.
Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, is plagued by fighting. For a week now, strong explosions have shaken the city and exchanges of fire have been heard. Among the locals, thousands of foreigners are also trapped. French nationals hope to be able to leave the country. “We should have evacuated around midday, but we were called back to tell us that in fact, we should not move because the sector of our rallying point was not safe.“, explains Frédéric, still on the spot.
The population lacks everything
Saudi Arabia is the first country To repatriate civilians. The belligerents had announced a ceasefire for the Aïd, but the generals did not fulfill their pledge. The Sudanese population lacks everything. “There is no electricity in the city and it is currently 41 degrees. There is no water in homes, food is running out fast in the city“, explains Thomas Okedi, humanitarian worker.
