Earlier, India said the situation in Sudan is “very tense” and is focusing on ensuring the safety and well-being of the Indian community, including working on contingency plans and possible evacuation.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi at a media briefing said is keeping a close watch on the developments in Sudan besides being in touch with relevant countries and added that any evacuation plan will depend on the ground situation.
“We are in readiness of taking multiple options. There are contingency plans. We are in close touch with our teams on the ground. But it will all depend on how long there is a pause in the fighting or a ceasefire; where it is happening, what is available in terms of locations where we can safely take people away,” he said.
External affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar said that India is in continuous touch with Indians in Sudan.
“Our team in Delhi is in continuous touch with the Indians in Sudan, advising them, saying we know it’s very difficult for everybody but keep calm and don’t take unnecessary risk. I hope that the efforts will yield something very soon,” he said.
The conflict is a direct result of a vicious power struggle within the country’s military leadership. The clashes are between Sudan’s regular army and a paramilitary force called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
