Nigerian evacuees, mostly students fleeing the crisis in Sudan, have arrived at Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja after almost a week of logistics and diplomatic difficulties.

They were airlifted from ASWAN airport in Egypt on Wednesday (May. 3) and arrived aboard two Air Peace airliners at exactly 11:23 pm. Another 70 evacuees are still expected to arrive on the Nigeria Air Force plane C-130.

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadia Umaru Farouq, and the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri, were at the airport to receive them. The evacuees were initially stranded at ASWAN airport on Wednesday due to overbooking. Their arrival brings relief and raises hope for the remaining Nigerians still in Sudan.

The conflict, which began on April 15, has claimed over 500 lives and displaced dozens, including Nigerians. The exact number of Nigerians affected is uncertain but estimated to be around 5,500.
