The National Association of Nigeria Students, Sudan has called on the Nigerian Government to intervene on the rise of insecurity going on in Sudan and Khartoum as a conflict that erupted between the Sudan military and paramilitary forces.
In a letter sent to the Minister of foreign affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama by Abubakar Babangida, NANS-SUDAN President, he said the students are stranded in fear and have no access to basic equipment.
The letter partly states: “We write this letter to your acquaintance sir in respect to the current and ongoing conflict that erupts between the Sudan military and paramilitary forces in these past days; particularly in Khartoum, the capital city where constant gunfire, explosions and airstrike attacks dominate its vicinity and environs (where a score of Nigerian Students study)”.
“The Nigerian Students have been stranded in fears with no access to basic needs equipment and have been facing dangerous threats.
However, they solicit and yearn for the Nigerian Government’s intercession to rescue and send for an immediate evacuation of the Nigerian students that are stuck in the center of the ongoing war.
“We strongly hope that our call for rescue to our dear nation Nigeria will be responded to with immediate effect”, the letter ended.
