Trudeau administration turns evacuation from Sudan into a mighty profitable venture

Canada ends Sudan evacuation: Conflicts continue to escalate in Sudan and countries have started the evacuation process. While sane countries are ensuring the safe return of their citizens, Canada is trudging an egregious path. Yes. It is disheartening to know that Canada has put a price tag on the safety of its citizens. A price tag of $10,000. The Trudeau government knows exactly how to prey on someone’s weakness.

Canada ends Sudan evacuation

The turmoil in Sudan has stranded Canadians not only within the East African country, but also thousands of kilometres away from the fighting. Khalid Yousif, a Calgary-based Canadian aircraft engineer, and his family were in Sudan for a funeral when the crisis began. On Tuesday, the British military transported them to Cyprus. By air, it is more than 2,100 kilometres from Khartoum.

$10,000 to escape Sudan war zone

The Canadian government has since said it would charge the family of five $10,000 for flights back to Canada, Mr. Yousif said. The British did not charge the family for evacuating them from Sudan. “The British gave us water and food – they took care of us.”

Mr. Yousif expressed disappointment at Canada’s treatment of his family, as well as three other Canadian families in Cyprus.

“I don’t think they are delivering what they are supposed to be delivering,” he said of the Canadian government.

Other foreign nationals, he said, have been transported all the way home by their own governments.
In the previous week, aircraft from the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Egypt, Jordan, Spain, the Netherlands, and South Korea have reportedly arrived in Sudan. However, according to Department of Global Affairs records, Ottawa has not reported sending a military aircraft into Sudan, where approximately 1,700 Canadian citizens are located. The actual figure is thought to be higher.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on 25th April that arranging a landing location in Sudan for Canadian military planes is difficult because Ottawa relies on allies to rescue citizens.

Melanie: Evacuating civilians impossible!

According to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, the number of Canadians declaring their presence in Sudan has risen to 1,800. More people are requesting evacuation assistance from Canada, she said. This number has now increased to 700. Ms. Joly stated that as of Wednesday morning, 150 Canadians had managed to depart Sudan.

“We are actively working on evacuation lists,” she explained. Sure, Ms. Melanie you’re working on evacuation but first the evacuees need to pay a price.

Just a few days back knowing the harrowing situation in Sudan, Ms. Melanie made statements like, “Evacuating Canadian citizens from Sudan is currently ‘impossible’.” Happy to know that Canada has finally found a solution to the crisis: charge people $10,000 to evacuate them. Genius!

I mean, why bother with all that pesky diplomacy and international cooperation when you can just make a quick buck off of desperate citizens? Sure, the Canadian foreign minister initially claimed that evacuating people was impossible as Canada ends Sudan evacuation, but hey, things change! And when they do, you might as well make a profit.

The conflict in Sudan has left a trail of devastation and trauma in its wake. What’s shocking to know is the audacity of the Canadian government to think of minting profits on its citizens’ vulnerability.
