@AbooodTJ Thank you! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

@duaaokhair No clue about British nationals in relation to Saudi, the British are evacuating people via their own plans - but there are no flights or trips for normal non-KSA residents at the moment. Everyone traveling from here rn is doing so via their embassies from prior arrangements..

[Ri @biskaweet]

I hope I didn’t miss anything - if there’s anything you’d like to ask feel free! I’ll try to be as helpful as I can be.. 12/12

[Ri @biskaweet]

@IsmaelOmer 4) all the prices for things have gone up because of how full everywhere is and how expensive and hard petrol is to find
5) the ships are only evacuating foreigners via their own governments
6) no bookings open to normal civilians or individuals until now, so I have no info..

[Ri @biskaweet]

After an insane week, finally made it from #Khartoum to #PortSudan last night.. Thankful and praying for everyone’s safety in this chaos. #sudan

[Ri @biskaweet]

@IsmaelOmer It’s okay!
1) The buses from the Mina only leave first thing in the morning (4-5 am) as they fill up, because they have to arrive before it’s too dark.
2) tickets when I left were for 30K SDG per person
3) places in Port Sudan are packed and full as far as I know

[Ri @biskaweet]

@IsmaelOmer If you’re willing to spend the night in cities along the way though, there may be alternative timings?

[Ri @biskaweet]

@IsmaelOmer I really don’t know.. I think it depends on where you’re going from and to - the journeys are taking longer than they usually do, and petrol is low, and most of the journeys are too dark/unsafe to be done at night.. so I think they’re mostly operating in the earlier hours..

@zhanghe01 Hi! Thanks for reaching out - I’ve posted tweets on my experience to the best of my ability, but I’m not looking to speak to any journalist or press.. 🙌🏽 thanks!

[Ri @biskaweet]

I was just informed that despite my panic I still did the Twitter thread wrong 🥹 sorry guys, I tried

[Ri @biskaweet]

@buttforwhy I don’t have any first hand info - but I imagine their best bet would maybe be Shambat station, or kubri al7alfaya would mostly likely have buses there as well.. they’re far enough north from all the chaos that I think they’d have an easier way out In’sha’Allah..

[Ri @biskaweet]

@Mariocharisman2 Everyone seems to only be dealing in cash - the internet is too awful/nonexistent right now for bankak to even work properly most of the time..

[Ri @biskaweet]

@basboosa404 @terhas_ If they’re south from Kobar Bridge, then as far as I know, there is only the very long route of taking buses from Shari3 Alsiteen to Madani, and then from Madani’s main bus station all the way through to Port Sudan.. (2/2)

[Ri @biskaweet]

We got to Port Sudan now - it’s safe, no issues, as were all the stops in between.. people are mostly just struggling with Petrol, and phone/internet networks everywhere, as Khartoum is down and the networks/stations here are overloaded. 11/12

[Ri @biskaweet]

@basboosa404 @terhas_ I’m sorry, I don’t know where that is and google/google maps isn’t working - but if they’re north from Kobar Bridge, then they can take buses from there or Omdurman to Port Sudan easily form the main bus stations.. the earlier in the day the better their chances (1/2)

[Ri @biskaweet]

@terhas_ I hope it helps 🙌🏽

[Ri @biskaweet]

@SaGaMuk Thanks 😂🙌🏽

[Ri @biskaweet]

@Mariocharisman2 There was no contact info! We went to the main bus station (almina albarri) and booked the tickets there around 3:30/4am when it opened.. some people booked their tickets at their other office in alsouq alsha3bi..

[Ri @biskaweet]

@ligematt We went on one long non-stop route through Kassala - I posted more detailed info in separate tweets of that helps!
