Nigeria sends an air force plane to rescue its citizens who are trapped in Sudan.
Thursday, April 27, the Nigerians arrived in Aswan, which is in Egypt and borders Sudan.
A Nigerian Air Force plane is on its way to Egypt to bring people who are stuck in Sudan back to Nigeria.
Most of the Nigerians who were brought back from Sudan were students. They were taken to the Egyptian border in the middle of last week.
But reports from the border between Sudan and Egypt say that the police have stopped more than 7,000 people, including Nigerians, from entering Egypt.
People ran away from the fighting in Sudan and went to Egypt so that their governments could get rid of them.
The NAF C-130 would pick up the Nigerians who were stuck in Sudan. This would happen in Egypt. The group in charge of handling Nigerians living abroad, NIDCOM, wrote in a video posted to Twitter.
Officials could be seen putting food and water on the plane before it left Nigeria.
Since April 15, when the army and the RSF rebels got into a fight, Sudan has been in a lot of trouble.
The Nigerian Embassy is trying to get the Egyptian government to let Nigerians in, the NIDCOM said in a report on Friday.
Thursday, April 27, the Nigerians arrived in Aswan, which is in Egypt and borders Sudan.
The bus drivers who took them from Sudan to the area complained and stopped in the middle of the Sahara before they got there because they thought they hadn't been paid.
