Nigerians studying in Sudan have said that the Nigerian embassy in the country has abandoned them and failed to give them information updates in the ravaging war. Crisis broke out in the country after weeks of power struggles between the two generals who seized power in a 2021 coup: Sudan’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands RSF. No fewer than 200 civilians were reportedly killed in the war that erupted in Khartoum between aggrieved parties in the country.
