Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is working with "like-minded countries" to help citizens who remain in Sudan flee the country as an armed conflict there escalates.Hundreds have been killed and thousands injured in just 10 days after power-sharing negotiations between the country's armed forces and its paramilitary troops rapidly deteriorated.
Joly says Global Affairs Canada is trying to contact all Canadians in Sudan who have registered with the government, and anyone who hasn't yet done so is urged to get in touch immediately.Almost 1,600 Canadians were formally registered in Sudan as of Saturday, but experts believe the number of Canadians in the country is likely much higher.Canada suspended consular services in the East African country Sunday, and reports said Canadian diplomats had left.
