The latest advice from the Department of Foreign Affairs to Irish citizens in Sudan is to 'shelter in place, remain indoors and observe local restrictions'.
TÁNAISTE MICHEÁL MARTIN has confirmed that 246 Irish citizens and their dependents have been evacuated from Sudan.
He also called for an end to the violence in Sudan “so humanitarian aid can reach those who need it most”. Those seeking to depart Sudan for neighbouring countries should also take careful advice before doing so as border crossings may be closed, or may involve long transit and processing times. James Cleverly said the situation remained dangerous and officials were still in Port Sudan to help Britons seeking to leave the country.Irish citizens have been among those evacuated from Sudan on flights arranged by the UK.
He added: “We will ensure that we maintain a presence to support British nationals, because the situation in Sudan, sadly, is still volatile, and it is still dangerous.”
