PLA Navy succeeds in evacuating nationals from Sudan

On Wednesday afternoon, buses transporting the evacuees reached the port. Many of them were excited at the sight of the Chinese warships and troops and waved the Chinese national flag in their hand while some cried, according to the Navy.

On Thursday morning (local time), the two ships arrived in Jeddah and after the civilians left, they began to sail back to Port Sudan to retrieve the second group of evacuees, the Navy said.

This has been the third time the Navy has carried out an overseas evacuation mission, it said, noting the previous two operations took place in Libya in 2011 and Yemen in 2015.
