Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry has begun arrangements for evacuating its citizens and a number of nationals from other “brotherly” countries from Sudan, the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
More than 400 people have been killed after violence erupted last week between forces loyal to Sudan’s army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
On Friday, the United Nations, US, UK, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Sweden and Spain said they were making preparations or attempting to evacuate their personnel.
The army and the RSF said separately they agreed to a three-day truce to enable people to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr which began on Friday.
