Around 212 Thai citizens, and 3 foreign spouses, have fled Sudan via Saudi Arabia, according to a Nation Thailand report. It’s understood the evacuees departed the port city of Jeddah on a Royal Thai Airforce plane last night. The group was moved from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, to Port Sudan, from where they took a boat to Saudi Arabia.

 

According to deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Dhnadirek, Saudi Arabia granted the Royal Thai Airforce permission to land in Jeddah and pick up the group. The 212 Thais had previously registered with Thailand’s Foreign Ministry, requesting to be evacuated as the conflict in Sudan intensified.

 

Fighting broke out in the Sudanese capital on April 11, the result of clashes between two rival factions of the country’s military. To date, the fighting has mainly been taking place in the twin cities of Omdurman and Khartoum North, according to the Nation Thailand report.

What were they all doing there?  Surely Thailand isn't that bad?

Had this discussion in another thread. Quite a lot from the South, studying Islamic studies and Arabic
