TERNATE - One of the residents from North Maluku, Khalifah Putri Andaini, told the situation of war conflicts that occurred in Sudan. During the conflict on April 15, he and other Indonesian citizens were trapped because their place of residence was not far from the location of the war.

Three days before being evacuated by the Indonesian government at that time, there was a shootout, they even saw rocket weapons crossing above, where they lived. The incident scared them.

"Alhamdulillah, we all survived and were evacuated to Saudi Arabia by ship. Today we are happy to be able to return to this area, and meet parents and family. Thank you to the Indonesian government and the North Maluku Provincial Government," said the teenager from Ternate City who studied in Sudan.

Five North Maluku residents who were victims of war conflicts in Sudan have been successfully evacuated to the country. Four of them, including the Andaini Women's Caliph, have arrived in Ternate City via Sultan Baabullah Airport Ternate.
