Iran Press/ Asia: The Japanese government-chartered flight carrying the batch, including both Japanese nationals and their family members, left Djibouti on Friday, according to the Foreign Ministry.
As of Friday, 65 Japanese nationals and their family members of other nationalities have fled the northeast African country. Some have returned to Japan by private means, the ministry said.
A growing number of countries have evacuated citizens from Sudan since fierce clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April. Authorities in the country say more than 500 people have already died in the fighting.
A US-brokered 72-hour cease-fire initially went into effect from midnight Monday, with both sides announcing its extension for a further three days into Sunday.
Despite the declarations, however, there have been reports of fighting in Khartoum.
Other countries, such as Germany, France and South Korea, have also evacuated their citizens from Sudan.
