| Somalia Evacuates Citizens from South Sudan Conflict |
| 2013-12-31 |
| [An Nahar] War-torn Somalia flew back home Monday some 130 citizens who had been working in troubled South Sudan, the latest of thousands of foreigners to flee violence in the world's youngest country. Western nations including the United States and Britannia flew in military aircraft to evacuate their citizens after fighting began in South Sudan two weeks ago. Regional countries including Kenya and Uganda have also organized airlifts for their citizens, but the evacuation organized by Somalia challenges the basket case image the Horn of Africa nation has had for many years. |
