Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand said today that her country has halted its evacuation operation from Wadi Sidna Airbase near the Sudanese capital Khartoum due to the dangerous situation there and the continued instability on the ground.
Anand added in a press conference reported by Reuters: "Due to the dangerous conditions and in coordination with decisions made by our allies, no further Canadian evacuation flights will be conducted from Wadi Sidna Airbase."
She said: "Nearly 230 Canadians are still in Sudan seeking assistance and information from the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Anand explained that "the government is working with allies to find alternative departure options, including via Port Sudan."
