28 Students From NTB Stuck In The Battlefield Of Sudan, Provincial Government Opens The Pengadua Command Post
NTB - The Provincial Government of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) continues to coordinate with the central government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) for the evacuation process of dozens of students from NTB in Sudan.
"Our coordination with the center never stops, we have even ordered the NTB Education and Culture Office together with Brida NTB to continue to coordinate with the center through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," he said in Mataram, NTB, Wednesday, April 26, which was confiscated by Antara.
According to the Regional Secretary, what the Provincial Government did was basically the same when an earthquake occurred in Turkey a few months ago.
Where the NTB Provincial Government at that time opened a complaint post, this time it was the same so that it could make it easier for people who want to find out their family's information in Sudan.
"So what we did during the Turkish earthquake, we also did for Sudan. In the past with the Manpower and Transmigration Office because it was related to our PMI and the NTB BPBD regarding disasters, this time we asked for Dikbud and Brida," he explained.
However, the NTB Regional Secretary continued, considering that this issue is a relationship between countries, his party has fully handed over to the central government.
"The point is that we are in the area of evacuation issues to the central government," he said.
It was reported that 28 students from NTB were in war areas between military forces and the Rappid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary in the capital Khartoum Sudan.
