Russian Diplomatic Exodus: Moldova's Relations in Freefall

Twenty-two Russian diplomats have left the Moldovan capital of Chisinau, following a reduction in staff at the Russian embassy ordered by Moldova last month. Moldova's move to establish parity with its embassy in Moscow comes as relations between the two countries deteriorate, with Moldova's pro-European President accusing Russia of trying to destabilize the country. The reduction in staff includes technical support staff and their families, and from Tuesday, no more than 10 Russian diplomats and 15 support staff will be allowed to remain in Chisinau. Russia has warned that this action will have consequences for Russian-Moldovan relations.

Nigerian Students Allege Extortion by Embassy Staff During Sudan Evacuation

Two Nigerian students stranded in Sudan due to the ongoing war have accused embassy staff in Khartoum of extorting $250 from them in the name of evacuation. The students said they were first asked to pay $150 ($75 each) for their evacuation, which they requested from their families in Nigeria. The embassy staff then demanded an additional $100 ($50 each) from both of them to facilitate their evacuation. The Nigerian government had provided six buses to evacuate Nigerian students studying in Khartoum, but some of the buses were reportedly hijacked by non-documented Nigerians residing in Sudan.
