The Spanish government stated on Sunday that it had flown out approximately one hundred people from war-torn Sudan, including 30 Spaniards and 70 others from Europe and Latin America.

According to a foreign ministry statement, a military plane took off from Khartoum shortly before 11:00 p.m. (2100 GMT) and was headed to Djibouti.

According to the statement, other nationalities flown out included those from Argentina, Colombia, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Mexico, Venezuela, and Sudan. According to the report, the evacuation operation went ahead without a hitch.

Several other countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States, have begun evacuating their citizens from Sudan, with some choosing Djibouti as an initial transit point.

The battle began on April 15 between army head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's forces and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after a disagreement over the RSF's planned merger into the regular army.

According to the World Health Organization, at least 420 people have died, and 3,700 have been injured due to the ongoing clashes.

This comes at a time when kenya has also decided to evacuate over 300 citizens from the capital of sudan. One hundred of those were students who were studying in the city.

Dr Korir Sing'oei stated that The first group of students had already boarded a bus bound for Gadaref, and the second group was preparing to board the same bus. Adding that While all of this is happening, they are also in contact with the Kenyan embassy in Sudan and that everything is good at the moment

According to Kenya's Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary, the government's primary priority is to keep Kenyans safe. He went on to say that landing there is challenging. So the aim is to transport Kenyans to Port Sudan, where they will be airlifted to Jeddah and, hopefully, Nairobi.
