Armenian Citizens Evacuated from Sudan Amid Ongoing Conflict, Set to Arrive in Armenia

Seven Armenian citizens have been evacuated from Sudan to Cairo amidst escalating violence; they are expected to arrive in Armenia tomorrow, according to the Embassy of Armenia in Egypt.

As violence intensifies in Sudan, seven Armenian citizens have been evacuated from the country and are currently in Cairo. According to a Facebook post by the Embassy of Armenia in Egypt, they are set to arrive in Armenia tomorrow. The situation in Sudan has deteriorated, with urban warfare trapping many residents and causing shortages of food, fuel, water, and power.

Mounting Casualties and Ceasefire Violations

The United Nations has reported at least 512 people killed and nearly 4,200 wounded in the conflict, although the actual number is believed to be much higher. The Sudan Doctors Union has stated that at least 387 civilians have been killed. Both the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have accused each other of violating an internationally brokered ceasefire, with the RSF alleging air strikes on their bases in Omdurman and Mount Awliya.
