The first group of evacuees from the war-torn Sudan arrived in Nairobi aboard a military aircraft on Monday night. The group consisted of 19 Kenyans, 19 Somalis and one Saudi Arabian national who all travelled by road to South Sudan where they boarded onto the spartan aircraft.

They were received by Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
