The Foreign Office has confirmed the last evacuation flights have now left Sudan. The final plane left at 1.10am local time - more than two hours later than expected. The extra flights were announced this week amid a renewed uneasy 72-hour ceasefire.
The Foreign Office warned ‘violence could escalate’ and said there will be no further extensions of evacuation efforts.
‘We are closely monitoring the situation in Khartoum and other parts of Sudan where there are ongoing military clashes. There is now fighting in various locations across Sudan. Khartoum International Airport is currently closed.
The north African country saw more than two years of power-sharing between the military and civilian leaders but a coup brought this to an end in October 2021. But there has long been tension surrounding the details of this arrangement, namely the proposed timeline - the army wanted the integration complete in two years but the RSF insisted on waiting 10.
