The Federal Government has given a Nigerian airline, Azman Air, the approval to evacuate the country’s nationals stranded in war-torn Sudan.
The federal government had last week commenced the evacuation of Nigerians from Sudan to Egypt and budgeted $1.2 million for the deployment of 40 bushes for the exercise.
Fighting between the two military units loyal to the Sudanese leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his estranged deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, entered its second week on Monday with over 600 people reportedly killed.
