However, an evacuation mission is not possible to carry out right now due to the security situation, according to Kristersson.

"We hope that changes very soon," he says.

The day before yesterday, the government will make a decision that will enable Sweden to participate in an international evacuation operation for Swedish and foreign citizens who are stuck in Sudan.

"The government and our agencies are fully ready and will do everything we can," says Kristersson, who asks to return with more information.

Kristersson urged Swedes in Sudan to continue to seek shelter and stay indoors.

Ministry for Foreign Affairs: About a hundred Swedes may be there

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about 20 people are registered on the Swedish list in Sudan. In addition, there are about ten people in the country with links to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or other international organizations. It is estimated that up to a hundred Swedes may be in the country, but the number is difficult to determine. Swedes who are worried are encouraged to contact the embassy, which regularly updates its website on Sweden Abroad.
