The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has announced it has concluded the evacuation process of the remaining 12 Zambians who safely exited Sumy, Ukraine to Warsaw, Poland.
Foreign Affairs Minister Stanley Kakubo said the 12 nationals, who will travel on Qatar Airways, are expected to arrive in Lusaka at 08:50 am at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport on Sunday, 13th March, 2022 and will be received by Government officials.
Mr. Kakubo said the students were able to undergo the necessary PCR tests for Covid-19 prior to their departure from Poland.
“They have all tested negative and as such they will only be required to undergo the regular screening of every ordinary traveller, on arrival in Lusaka. All parents and guardians who are able to, may pick their respective children from the airport upon arrival,” he said.
“The Government will provide accommodation for the nationals who reside outside of Lusaka, for at least two nights and thereafter will be facilitated to their final destinations.”
He added, “The Ministry wishes to express its gratitude to the parents and guardians of the nationals, and members of the public at large, for their patience during the delicate evacuation exercise.”

Anapaya Gaddafi – I guess increased CDF of K25 million and free education is not a plus for you!!
@ Tarino was free education introduced by Upnd?
And What is free education? My father went through free education from Grade 1 to University 1965 to 1976 and he found free at school; textbooks, exercise books. His parents only bought uniforms
In China and Çuba everything even uniform is paid for by the state
Muledoubta – If you are going to give me history lessons about free education from 1965 please do a timeline from that date to present date…that’s how you debate dont just hallucinate even to someone who witnessed it during KK era.
@Muledoubta it also depends on what is being called education. Given our current govt’s inclination towards copycatting Whites education is just brainwashing of our kids. After going through the education system they will start envying whites and will contribute nothing to our development
You imposter ,don’t you watch and listen BBC / CNN or busy watching RT?
Your fellow criminals ,the Russians were not allowing any one leave Sumy , a town near the Russian border until a few days ago. There were also other nationalities involved like Indians ,Nigerians who had large population of students. I wonder whether they were slow according yo your idiotic observation?
You sound pathetic and foolish by the way. You are such a bore!
