More than 6,000 people have entered Ethiopia, fleeing fighting in neighbouring Sudan, according to local officials.
“It is heartwarming that borders are now open in Egypt. But we will take it up in parliament to find out why they didn’t open the borders in time.”
The fighting in Sudan has reportedly killed over 500 people and left over 4,000 others wounded.
Streets in some Sudanese cities returned to relative calm on Sunday as a shaky ceasefire helped scale back a violent conflict.
The ambassador said the terrorist act was an attempt to obstruct the evacuation efforts of the diplomats and foreign nationals.
According to the NIDCOM chief, over three million Nigerians reside in Sudan, and efforts are being made to evacuate as many as possible.
In addition, around 40 Swedish citizens left Sudan on flights operated by other countries, and several others left the country on their own, Mr Kristersson said.
“Of course you know, because of the risks involved and so many other things, a lot of people are going to also take advantage.
UN secretary general Antonio Guterres said, “Let me be clear: the United Nations is not leaving Sudan. Our commitment is to the Sudanese people.”
