    Nearly 1,100 Indians stranded in Sudan have been evacuated from the country in six batches so far under Operation Kaveri

    Nearly 1,100 Indians stranded in Sudan have been evacuated from the country in six batches so far under Operation Kaveri, which was launched to rescue Indians from the strife-torn Northeast African nation. The first set of 360 evacuees arrived in Delhi on Wednesday night from Saudi Arabia's Jeddah on a commercial flight. Over 1,900 Indians are still believed to be stuck in Sudan.

    Why does this story matter?

    More than 427 people have been killed since the conflict between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, began on April 15 over the country's transition to civilian rule. Both warring sides agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire beginning Tuesday. The truce was mediated by the United States (US) and Saudi Arabia as several nations try to evacuate their citizens.
