Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a Canadian effort is underway to conduct airlifts out of Sudan, and two military vessels have arrived off its coast as violence in the region continues for a second week.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says 100 Canadians have already left the country and another 1,700 people have registered with the government and are being contacted by Canadian authorities.
Joly says the federal government is also providing information for people who are attempting to leave the country on their own, and safe passage for Canadians has already been negotiated with several countries in the region, including Kenya, Ethiopia and Egypt.
