About 50 additional Canadians were evacuated out of Sudan in the last day, but even more have added their names to a list seeking help to flee, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Wednesday.
That means about 150 Canadians and permanent residents have now been helped to get out of the country after violence broke out last week between the East-African country’s army and paramilitary force.
