TORONTO — Abdelgadir Eltayeb and his family have no electricity, dwindling food and water, and haven't been able to venture far from the home in Khartoum
TORONTO — Abdelgadir Eltayeb and his family have no electricity, dwindling food and water, and haven’t been able to venture far from the home in Khartoum where they took shelter after violence exploded in Sudan’s capital this week.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Canada’s embassy in Khartoum has temporarily suspended in-person operations. The government said the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces are also planning for contingencies but gave no further details. Eltayeb, who came to Canada from Sudan in 1989, has registered with Global Affairs Canada but said he hasn’t heard from officials on ways Canada can support him.
