2:05 am
has more than those evacuation from the sydney's capital cartoon. well, there are 2 kinds of acura of, of evacuations happening here in the capital sort of tomb. there's the evacuation of foreign nationals with the health, from their embassies and allied countries here in the, in, in the capitol. many of them making their way to the eastern city of port sedan, just like the un mission here in the country and puts down is a city that's about 800 kilometers away from the capital. so that's a trip on a normal day that would take about 11 to 12 hours. but because there would be checkpoints on the road and because it's a large convoy, it's likely to take longer than that. and those are the foreign nationals evacuating. then there's the locals, the residence of harpooned themselves, who are doing their own evacuations. mapping out their own routes outside the capital to make it to safe places, places like a zebra in these, the central part of the country or river. now, in the northern part of the country, there are also some students who are trying to evacuate the country completely, not just to um, to neighboring states. they're trying to move to neighboring countries like egypt, if yoga, or chad and south sudan,
2:06 am
they're simply looking for ways depending on where they are, depending on the fighting at the time that they're trying to move, to make it out of the capital. whether that be at to a neighboring state or neighboring country in the end, let's not forget that this is the 1st time what assume is actually actually witnessing a displacement. cartoon is not a city that has a has witnessed conflict despite the fact that saddam has had numerous whereas going on within its borders. but never in hard to him. so people are very and used to the situation. so let's bring in noon abdur bassett. sheila sedan yesterday with her family and joins us from cairo to talk about her journey at noon. so glad to see that you and your family, a mouse safe in egypt, you sent out a very detail, twitter thread telling of your experience in getting out of sedan safely, just briefly noon. talk us through a few of the tip. some things to keep in mind for other people who are wishing to get out of saddam quickly. all right, thank you so much. getting out of sedan was not an easy decision to make. it was
2:07 am
not an easy journey. what i would recommend to my sister's number, they are trying to trace it down right now is, i mean, you need to be brave up, please take care of each other. don't care too much money or to any clothes pack. likely. make sure you have sent you with plenty of drinking water. the journey is really long. and when you think about it, just go for it. and don't think of the what ifs. just please try to get out and be face a new and we understand there were a number of other nationalities traveling with you on your bus. people from sweden, the us, a, an island. how worried were they all said about getting out? most of the people from boy nationality that were with us on the west, west initially waiting for their embassy to have them evacuated. but i think they waited
2:08 am
a couple of days and they realized that the conditions weren't going to happen anytime soon. so for them, it was a very joining experience as well. and they figured that just trying to evacuate on their own is better, and they have evacuated, they're all here in egypt. and the embassies from those countries, though, have not evacuated their citizens knew. and as you were saying, this is a very scary experience for you. and your family, what would you say was the most dangerous part of the journey? for instance, the checkpoints man by the sudanese army or that the the rapids support forces getting out of costume was definitely the most difficult part of this entire journey. having to go through the checkpoints where you don't know whether you're going to be robbed or killed or on just holding my mother's hand. looking into my gomez,
2:09 am
i just all holding each other's hands and praying that it all goes smoothly. i would say that even though it was the shortest part of the chip, it was definitely the most nerve wracking noon. just a final thought to you. i mean, you're probably still in contact with friends and colleagues back to the family, left backend sedan. what have they been telling you now about the worsening situation that the situation has just gotten so much worse in the last few days. and people have completely run out of food clean drinking water. the hospitals are almost 0 capacity. they're completely not waking. there's no petrol people can't move around, even evacuation, like when we evacuated, it was much easier. i was to move even at the border, there weren't that many people, but now these borders are filled with so many people. and it is draining into
2:10 am
a full blown herana chain crisis on that needs to be stopped. he's why needs to be put into place. and the people have said, i need to be evacuated safely out of there. ok, i knew about that really good to get your thoughts and your descriptions of how your journey went flings for them. thank you very much indeed. and thank you. now hundreds of people are also fleeing to neighboring south for them, but the ongoing fighting is making it difficult for people to move south downs, already grappling with around 2000000 internally, displaced people after a decade long conflict. well, peter found it over to the un humanitarian coordinator in south for them. he says about 2000 people across the border and many more are expected. so for the numbers of the iraq most here, and i've been fairly limited, we're looking about 2000 people that have arrived from sudan into sounds that most
2:11 am
of the ring to each other. good days about 7 hours of travel from costume, from capital by road. and of course, what we are expecting is that if the violence would decrease the number of people that will be arriving in some stories that we're hearing from people that arriving . first of all, these are usually people that have the means to travel here. so we're also expecting the more vulnerable people to come at a later stage. but a lot of people are talking about horrible situations in get through about being, having the ropes on the way from customer 2 years from they often arrive here. we. luckily, most of those people do have still family in cells to help them. busy maybe just also there's also know that we're also expecting some sudanese to come to, to sell to them because we have about 400000 nice refugees in sell to them and a few 100000 like and also living. it's also done in those people. of course on
