Over 1,262 Nigerian students have petitioned the federal government to evacuate them from the Republic of Sudan, where a major military clash between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Force has resulted in 330 fatalities and 3,200 injuries.
In an interview with The Punch on Thursday, Adam Mohammed, the secretary-general of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Sudan, bemoaned the fact that many students were out of food.

These countries included Tanzania, Uganda, and Japan.
The RSF paramilitary group and the Sudanese Armed Forces, both commanded by General Mohamed Dagalo, were previously partners.
They worked together in 2019 in a popular uprising that overthrew Sudan’s brutal dictator, Omar al-Bashir, who ruled the country for three decades.
Following the coup, a coalition of civilian and military organizations formed a government with shared control.
The interim government was supposed to rule Sudan for a few years and supervise the transition to a civilian government, but in 2021 al-Burhan, who had risen to the position of chief of the power-sharing council, abolished it and announced he would hold elections in 2023 instead.
As a result of unsuccessful negotiations to integrate the two forces prior to the projected restoration of civilian control, the current combat between the army and the RSF began.
There were differences of opinion on who would be the superior general and how quickly the RSF would be integrated into the Sudanese military.
On April 8, there was a lot of fighting, and Khartoum and Obdurman became battlegrounds.
The opposing parties reached two ceasefire agreements, but neither was able to put an end to the fighting.
