The flight ends a series of evacuation flights from the violence-ravaged African country. Most Dutch people known to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have been in Sudan have now left the country. This was done via these military flights or those from partner countries.
In total, at least 160 Dutch people have been evacuated from Sudan. More than 85 of them took off on Air Force planes. Other Dutch people could fly with flights from other European countries. About 130 evacuees from eighteen other nationalities were also taken on the Dutch flights, according to the ministry.
