"The process of bringing Malaysians out has entered a critical phase, following the two disputing parties not respecting the ceasefire.
"I ask Malaysians to pray for all of them to be safe and that the mission to get them out of Sudan will be successful," he said when contacted by Bernama TV here today.
Dr Zambry said Wisma Putra and other agencies at the Ops Sudan Operations Centre continued to work hard to bring the Malaysians out.
Prior to this, Malaysia had contacted Sudan's highest administration to request permission to land in the country in order to evacuate Malaysians stranded in the country..
