[HIGHLIGHTS] "Urgent action is needed in Sudan – people need to be lifted out"

Swedish government wants to send an armed force to Sudan to evacuate Swedes. Food and water are running out in the war-torn capital of Khartoum.

Around a hundred Swedish citizens need to be evacuated, says SVT's Johan Ripås. If the Riksdag gives its approval tomorrow, the armed force can be sent immediately, says Defense Minister Pål Jonson. The announcement is a signal that it is becoming urgent as food and water is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
