The shooting commenced on 15 April 2023, after days of tension arising from the redeployment of members of the RSF across the country, which the army perceived as a threat. <\/p>\n

While there were initial expectations of talks to resolve the conflict, they never materialized. <\/p>\n

The party responsible for the first shot remains uncertain, but the violence quickly escalated in various regions of the nation.<\/p>\n

On Sunday 22rd April 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron revealed that citizens from European and other countries were being evacuated from Sudan to Djibouti. <\/p>\n

\u201cSudan is in the grip of violent clashes. The first plane repatriating our compatriots, European nationals, and nationals from other countries has just landed in Djibouti. I commend the mobilization of our armed forces and the agents of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs,\u201d he tweeted. <\/p>\n

French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has disclosed that 388 citizens have been evacuated under this operation that continued in the morning of Monday 24th April 2023. <\/p>\n

French Ambassador to Rwanda, Antoine Anfr\u00e9 has via Twitter handle confirmed that the evacuees include a few Rwandans. <\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the non-European citizens evacuated from Khartoum by the French operation there are a few Rwandan citizens [this embassy doesn’t know yet the precise number].This is what’s called solidarity!\u201d he tweeted. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, the United States of America and the United Kingdom also revealed that they were evacuating their citizens from Khartoum. <\/p>\n
