Yesterday afternoon our Ops department received a request from Doctors for Africa to evacuate 16 people from a town called Mundri, about half an hour's flying time to the west of Juba. My Kajo flight was shuffled around and we planned 2 trips to Mundri in the morning to collect these 16 new passengers.
Despite a slow start due to some issues with ATC (air trafic control) in Juba- ie. nobody answering on the radio! we managed to get the 2 evacuation flights done, followed by the shuttle.
Apparently the 16 young South Sudanese passengers from Mundri had been forced to spend some time in the bush due to the insecurity in the area and some had tears in their eyes when they were met in Juba.
