Sudan: Moroccan Evacuees Land in Casablanca

The first RAM plane, carrying 136 Moroccan evacuees from Port Sudan (East) to the Kingdom, landed on Wednesday at the Mohammed V International Airport of Casablanca.
The airlifting operation was ordered by King Mohammed VI, upon the escalation of violence in Khartoum, to secure the return of stranded Moroccan citizens and their families. The Moroccan Embassy in Sudan had organized a land convoy for 200 Moroccans from Khartoum to the city of Port Sudan (East).
Ambassador of the Kingdom to Sudan Mohamed Maâlainine had affirmed, the day before, that the Moroccan community that was rushed out of the Sudanese capital to Port Sudan is safe and sound and waiting for repatriation to Morocco.
He had stated that all required measures have been taken to guarantee that the expatriates are received in “the best conditions,” including accommodation and consular services.
The Moroccan diplomat reported the arrival of around 80 Moroccans who were not part of the initial land convoy bound for Port Sudan on Monday.
