Efforts are still being made to convince the remaining Filipinos still in Sudan to go home to the Philippines, as some have expressed their intention to stay in the conflict-ridden country despite the military infighting that has killed hundreds of civilians. So far, the government has successfully evacuated more than 600 Filipinos from Khartoum, Sudan's capital and the center of conflict. Some 85 Filipinos who flew from Cairo, Egypt, arrived in Manila on Friday afternoon bringing to 274, the total number of repatriated Filipinos based on the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration's count.
