KUALA LUMPUR: The government is closely monitoring the conflict in Sudan and will bring Malaysians in the country home if the situation poses a risk to their safety, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
“I received the report this morning. I think the situation there is still under control.
“But as soon as there is a risk, we will bring them straight home,” he told reporters at an event here today.
The conflict in Sudan, which involves the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has sparked political turmoil and threatened security in the country.
Earlier, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah advised the government to be prepared to bring home Malaysians in Sudan if the conflict in the country worsens.
He also called on all Malaysians to pray for the safety and well-being of their fellow countrymen in Sudan following the current crisis in the country.
