Last UK evacuation flight leaves Sudan as rescue effort ends
By Paul Adams & Charley AdamsAn operation to evacuate people from Sudan has been "extremely successful", a government minister has said, as the UK ended its evacuation operation.
A 72-hour ceasefire broke down on Saturday, with armed factions stepping up their battle for the capital. The UK government, which began evacuations last Tuesday, had faced criticism for not reacting quickly enough to help its citizens after it began its airlift after other European countries had rescued hundreds.
Speaking to the BBC in Nairobi, Mr Mitchell said it was right that the evacuation flights were ending. He added that he was concerned that the situation could become "incredibly serious" unless there was a permanent ceasefire.
