Malaysian evacuees faced gruelling 1,300km drive to exit Sudan, says envoy

SEPANG: The 30 Malaysians faced a harrowing trip to escape conflict-torn Sudan, says Malaysia’s ambassador to Sudan.

Mohamad Razdan Jamil recounted the perilous journey from his official residence-turned shelter in Khartoum to Port Sudan, saying that it was a now-or-never decision."It was important for us to find the route not being contested so we decided to take the long way to Port Sudan rather than the shorter one.

In addition to the 30 Malaysians that landed, three other non-Malaysians were part of the group as well."We are still following developments because if we follow the number of Malaysians in Sudan that registered with the embassy, then that’s the full group. "As far as we know, all are with us, except for two who are still there under the United Nations," Zambry said.
