Under Operation Kaveri, India has successfully flew a group of 360 citizens to New Delhi, who were earlier evacuated from Sudan to Saudi Arabia.
Horrifying Experiences Of Sudan
Those who were evacuated share their ordeals being in the battle-torn country as the Sudanese Army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are battling against each other for power.
It is mentioned Sukhvinder Singh was among the first batch of Indian nationals who returned to Delhi. Singh said he was ‘still very scared’ and recalled that he felt being ‘on a deathbed’ amid the conflict between two major forces in the country.
”We were living in one area, confined to one room. It was like we were on a deathbed,” he told after arriving at the Delhi airport.
Another citizen expressed that he ‘returned almost after dying’, and made a vow that he would ‘never return to Sudan’. “I will do anything in this country but won’t go back,” he said further.
Notably, Operation Kaveri is still underway. The rescue mission aimed at evacuating more Indian nationals before the end of a tenuous ceasefire that both the military and paramilitary forces agreed.
