Oxford family turned away at evacuation point in Sudan
Mrs Ali said: "I ducked over my son, my husband stopped the car and the soldier makes him get out and starts shouting at him, he made him lay on the ground at gunpoint.
When the family arrived at the airfield they were told they could enter after showing all their passports, but had to leave a lot of their luggage behind. They were then told there would not be another flight until the morning. After waiting more than five hours to get to the final security check the next morning, an officer refused them entry, explaining Mr Yassien did not have a visa and so could not fly."I couldn't leave him that wasn't an option, the only way he wasn't attacked on our way to the airport was because we were a family."
"If my husband goes out on foot to try and get us food, he has to take a knife or a sword with him to protect himself because there's gang violence," Mrs Ali added.The family is now waiting at their home in Khartoum for more information as there are no petrol stations open
