The Sudanese authorities issued an order for all foreigners to leave the capital, Khartoum, and its suburbs within a period not exceeding two weeks.
The Director of the Department of Foreigners and Immigration Control in Khartoum, Colonel Nizar Khalil, confirmed that the decision comes in the context of protecting foreigners from the increasing dangers as a result of the armed conflict that Sudan has witnessed since April 2023.
The authorities indicated that this measure is to preserve the safety of foreigners after reports of feelings of hostility against them due to allegations about the presence of foreign mercenaries fighting alongside the Rapid Support Forces, as a number of foreigners were recently arrested for not possessing the necessary legal papers for residency.
Meanwhile, a delegation from Khartoum that includes civilians and military personnel arrived in Geneva to attend UN-led talks aimed at brokering a ceasefire agreement and facilitating the arrival of humanitarian aid.
A senior military source stated that the government delegation will not engage in direct discussions with representatives of the Rapid Support Forces, but rather will convey the government’s point of view to UN officials on humanitarian issues.
For its part, the Rapid Support Forces confirmed that they sent their delegation to Geneva in response to the United Nations call and a desire to alleviate human suffering in Sudan.
