An Indonesian citizen (WNI) named Kurnia Nur Khadijah (23) admitted that he was asked for a passport by a military soldier in Sudan. He experienced this when trying to get to a safe location from war conflicts in Sudan. Kurnia said that at that time the situation was conducive and he chose to leave the location of the red zone in the war.

On the way, he walked secretly to a safer point. However, while on the way he passed the Sudanese military.

"I just met the military, it was pointed at all kinds of things. Yes, we just gave up. What are you going to do? Raise your hand," said Kurnia when met at the Hajj Dormitory, Pondok Gede, East Jakarta, Friday, April 28.

"But (the military) just asking for a passport 'Aren't you a foreigner?' Then look at the cellphone, the cellphone is checked? 'Isn't it really our photo?' It's like that," he continued.

Kurnia assessed that the military war with the paramilitary did not actually attack foreign nationals (WNA) in Sudan. However, because the zone he occupied at that time was a dangerous location, it moved.

"Alhamdulillah, they didn't actually attack foreigners and civilians either. As long as we don't do anything, we are safe. (But) the gunfire is heard every day in front of the back right, all of them are heard. Suddenly we were directed to evacuate moving to the hall, everything is there," he said.

Ditambahkan, Dedi Ansori (39), ia melihat banyak sipil yang tewas. Namun, rata-rata mereka warga Negara Sudan.

Meanwhile, many Indonesian citizens live at home, so they are not hit by stray bullets from the civil war.

"If we are there, the looting is not yet, after foreigners left, only (the military) RSF and SAF have started looting. If the bullets are stray, the average is Sudanese. Many, there are approximately up to 700 people. On average, Indonesians live at home, so no one is shot," he said.
