Concept Note

 

There are round 4000 persons of Indian origin in Sudan who got trapped in the civil war of Sudan in April 2023. India made a determined attempt to evacuate a large number of Indians from Sudan under Operation Kaveri. It successfully rescued most of them. The political crises and civil war of Sudan is not new. Currently it seems difficult to establish a democratic set up in short-term. Indian investment, Indian Diaspora and India’s strategic interest is substantial in Sudan. Besides India has a long historical relationship with Sudan. Given the explosive nature of recent crises in Sudan, India had to evacuate its Diaspora. For India, evacuation of its Diaspora in this region is not a new exercise. It has done earlier in Kuwait, Libya, Iraq, Yamen and recently in Ukraine.

 

The  webinar intends to discuss various dimensions of this Sudanese crisis and how India used its Diaspora Evacuation experiences to bring back Indians from Sudan.
