Air Force C-27 transport aircraft took off in the afternoon from Aswan Airport in Egypt and headed for Djibouti to receive Greeks transferred from Sudan.

It is recalled that more than 100 Greeks remain stranded in Sudan, where bloody clashes between paramilitaries and the country’s army have raged since April 15.

The return flight to Greece is estimated to be difficult to make today, most likely the plane will take off on Tuesday.

Deputy Foreign Minister Nikos Hardalias is heading to Egypt, where the Greek side has landed a C-130 boat.

According to K, about 110 Greeks remain trapped in scattered parts of Sudan, including Metropolitan of Nubia, Mr. Savvas.

Honorary Consul of Greece in Khartoum, Gerasimos Pagulatos, believes that these people are difficult to collect and flee in the current conditions. According to the same source, some are hiding in their homes and hurdle attempts are being made.

The Metropolitan allegedly tried to leave in a French caravan, but when he left the building where he had taken refuge, shots rang out again, and he returned to the safety of the building.

His brother G. Pagulatos owns the Akropolis Hotel in Khartoum, which has been operating since 1952.

According to the honorary consul, about six family members left Sudan yesterday in an Italian van and spent the night in Djibouti. They are currently being transferred to an Italian military base and are expected to depart on an Aegean flight in the afternoon.

Simultaneous operations to expel foreign citizens from Sudan continues from yesterday.

Some operations are carried out by air, but some countries have chosen to evacuate their citizens by sea, through Port Sudan on the Red Sea, which is 800 km from Khartoum.

More than 420 people were killed and 3,700 injured in clashes, mostly in Khartoum and Darfur, according to the World Health Organization.
