However, he said, of the five students it could not be confirmed whether they came from Makassar, but they were all from eastern Indonesia.
“That’s because most of our students are from the east and God willing, in the future we will make sure their data, where they come from so we can make sure,” he said.
So far, his party is still looking for ways to contact them there, what is their current condition in the midst of armed conflict in Sudan.
“But, we hope and pray that Allah will always protect them there. In addition, they are in good health, safe and can be evacuated immediately,” hoped Solehudin.
He hopes that the Indonesian government can immediately find the students who are still trapped there to be evacuated out of the conflict area in Sudan safely.
When asked if they survived and arrived in Indonesia, whether these students could be accepted back at the Unismuh Makassar campus considering the conditions in Sudan were not conducive, he suggested that the students could continue their studies at Unismuh Makassar.
