However, In the counting of those 156 people, there are two two Nepali citizens and including nine women with three small kids, Whos safely rescued by the flight C-17.

The operation is called “Sankat Mochan” and is led from the front by MoS External Affairs, General V K Singh. More than 4,640 Indian citizens in Yemen were evacuated along with 960 foreign nationals of 41 countries.

“The Prime Minister has welcomed all our Indian sisters & brothers who have returned from South Sudan”, the PMO said. Of them, 156 have been flown back to India in the first flight.

“The project aims to improve the livelihoods of people in Juba city through the provision of improved water supply infrastructure”, AfDB said. “There are about 300 people who do not wish to be evacuated because of the business concerns and other activities that they have out there”, Singh said.

They cheered Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who on Thursday sent 2,000 troops into South Sudan to carry out the evacuation.

Accepting such a force would be in South Sudan’s interests as letting the country try to implement a peace deal on its own has proven untenable, Kutesa said Friday in an interview in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, where he’s attending an African Union summit. She expressed her gratitude to the Indian Air Force and its officers for safe evacuation of Indian nationals from the strife-torn territory.

The latest flare-up of fighting between the forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar, which left scores of people dead, has raised questions about the political stability.

Several countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Uganda and Sudan also evacuated their citizens from South Sudan, but their embassies are still operating.
