A press release issued Tuesday stated that five Angolan citizens studying in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, were en route to the land border between Sudan and Ethiopia.
Another five citizens are being evacuated to Egypt in cooperation with the Department of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, the statement said.
