Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry announced the evacuation of Indian nationals along with citizens of other countries from Sudan. A total of 91 foreigners were evacuated by road. Among them were citizens of Bangladesh, Pakistan, Qatar and Canada besides India.

Meanwhile, the Sudanese army was quoted as saying it was coordinating efforts to evacuate American, British, Chinese and French citizens and diplomats from Sudan on a military aircraft.

The military said General Abdel Fattah Burhan had spoken to leaders of several countries, who had requested safe evacuation of their citizens and diplomats. With most airports in Sudan becoming battlegrounds, movement out of the capital, Khartoum, has become highly dangerous. “General Burhan has agreed to provide help to secure such evacuations,” the military said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
