Sudan Crisis: Nigerian Students Queue Up For Transportation To Egypt (PHOTOS)

Nigerian students are seen queuing up to board buses provided by the federal government to take them out of war-torn Sudan to Egypt from where they will be evacuated to Nigeria.

The chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, shared photos of the students as they boarded the buses.

“As our students in Sudan queued up orderly to board their buses to Egypt enroute to Nigeria, supervised by Nigerian mission officials in Sudan. Let’s remember them in our prayers as they journey home. War is a terrible thing!!,” she tweeted.

There are about 5,500 Nigerians stranded in the country where Government forces and paramilitary groups are fighting.

According to Nigerian diplomats in Sudan, they will be airlifted to Nigeria from Egypt.
