India is making every effort to ensure the safety and security of its citizens stranded in Sudan amid intense fighting between the army and a rival paramilitary force, the foreign ministry said on Sunday.
“We are closely monitoring the complex and evolving security situation in Sudan. We are also coordinating closely with various partners for the safe movement of those Indians who are stranded in Sudan and would like to be evacuated,” the ministry said in a statement.
Apart from the Sudanese authorities, the foreign ministry and the Indian embassy in Sudan are in regular touch with the United Nations, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and the US, among others.
