The operation began on Saturday and is being overseen by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in collaboration with the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

According to Sinan Majali, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, the evacuation will involve more than 300 Jordanians.

He also stated that there is a constant, ongoing cooperation with the UAE and Saudi Arabia in order to facilitate the smooth evacuation of Jordanian citizens from Sudan.

Clashes between rival factions in Sudan have led to the deaths of hundreds of people. The conflict pits forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan against those loyal to his deputy-turned-rival, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Witnesses reported heavy gunfire, loud explosions, and the roar of fighter jets in several areas of the capital on Saturday morning.

The fighting went into a second week Saturday breaking a truce previously agreed on.
