As our previous post shows, Sudan's capital city attracts university students from across Africa, Asia and beyond. One of the biggest student contingents is from Nigeria.

But many Nigerians say they're still waiting to be rescued from Khartoum, despite seeing their friends from other nations being safely removed.
