28 South Korean Nationals Safely Evacuated from Sudan
Amidst the ongoing civil war in Sudan, the South Korean government successfully evacuated 28 of its citizens who were stranded in the war-torn country. They boarded a military plane waiting at Port Sudan airport and left the country without any damage. The presidential office announced that all 28 nationals, except one who chose to remain in the country, have been safely withdrawn from Sudan. They will be traveling back to South Korea via Saudi Arabia, after which the Sudanese nationals will change to a transport plane. The government has taken all necessary measures to ensure their safety, including the deployment of the Blue Sea Force from Oman as a contingency plan. Sudan is currently experiencing a civil war between the government troops and rebels, that has resulted in the death of 400 people and left several thousands injured.
The Overland Journey from Khartoum to Port Sudan
The 28 South Korean nationals had to travel overland from Khartoum to Port Sudan, which was somewhat risky. However, they successfully completed their journey without any harm. Even the evacuation convoy of more than 700 U.N. staffers from Saudi Arabia and Jordan, who traveled the same route earlier, were not reported to have been in any danger. The government has taken steps to provide all necessary accommodations to ensure their safety and health, as they return to their homeland.
Execution of Operation 'Promise'
The successful evacuation of South Korean nationals from Sudan is a result of the efficient execution of Operation 'Promise.' The government also ensured that all the required measures were taken to facilitate the safe evacuation of its citizens. The South Korean President ordered the urgent dispatch of the Cheong Wa Dae warship Chungmugong Yisunsin, security personnel from the Special Forces, and military aircraft to ensure their safety. Additionally, air and naval assets were pre-deployed to the waters near Djibouti and Sudan to be ready to respond to any situation. Cho Tae-yong, the National Security Adviser, stayed behind to take command until the safety of the school children was secured. The government has expressed sincere gratitude to friendly countries such as the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, for their active cooperation during the operation.
In conclusion, the evacuation of South Korean nationals from Sudan is a testimony to the efficient execution of the government's contingency plan that ensured the safety and security of its citizens. The successful outcome of Operation 'Promise' is a result of the prompt response and deployment of necessary aids to ensure the safe return of South Korean nationals. The government will continue to monitor the situation until all South Korean nationals who have been evacuated from Sudan return home safely.
