Nasrullah Khan, a 42-year-old Pakistani mechanic who worked in Sudan, experienced the real adversity of life when sitting anguished and penniless in Port Sudan in recent days.
Now safely in his home in Swabi, Pakistan, he recalled the intense and moving experience, saying that the Pakistan-China ironclad friendship helped him out of danger.
According to China's Ministry of National Defense, 940 Chinese citizens and 231 foreigners were carried by Chinese naval vessels out of Sudan to the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah in two evacuation operations.
