UK armed forces have completed evacuation of British diplomats from Sudan
Sudanese volunteers working to help desperate civilians escape vicious in-fighting in Khartoum have claimed that foreigners caught attempting to flee the warzone have become targets.

“The militias are not well trained so they will think they’re spies.” Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source shared accounts of terrible conditions civilians trapped in the Sudanese capital.
