Hundreds of Indonesians evacuated from Sudan arrive in Jakarta

A further 363 Indonesian citizens evacuated from Sudan arrived home on Sunday on a second flight by the country’s flag carrier Garuda Indonesia, the country’s foreign ministry said.
The conflict between Sudan’s army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has triggered a rush to extract foreign diplomats and citizens by several countries including Indonesia, United States, Japan, Germany and Britain.
A first group of Indonesian evacuees arrived back in the country on Friday, and a total of 748 citizens have been evacuated from Sudan as of Sunday.
The foreign ministry said in a statement, “Not only Indonesian citizens, the government of Indonesia also helped evacuate a number of foreign citizens,” without providing details how many foreigners Indonesia has evacuated.
