On Friday night, the federal government announced that it had deployed members of its Global Affairs Standing Rapid Deployment Team to Djibouti due to the volatile and rapidly deteriorating situation in Sudan.
“The situation in Sudan is volatile and deteriorating rapidly,” Joly said in a release. “Canada continues to call for an end to violence and stands with the Sudanese people as they strive for peace. On Thursday, Joly said there were currently no means of evacuating Canadians from Sudan and urged people there to shelter in place.Eltayeb said shells have fallen mere blocks from the relative’s home where he is taking shelter. The Edmonton resident and his family had a return flight to Canada booked for May 9 but that was changed by the airline this week to May 16, he said.
Eltayeb, who came to Canada from Sudan in 1989, has registered with Global Affairs Canada but said he hasn’t heard from officials on ways Canada can support him. Several hospitals in Khartoum have run out of supplies or been shut down. Banks have been closed and account holders have been unable to withdrawal funds. Canada’s travel advisory warns that Sudan’s telecommunication networks could break down without notice.Article content
