Britain on Tuesday said it had launched “a large-scale evacuation” of its citizens trapped in Sudan, where 10 days of urban combat have led to hundreds of deaths.
The announcement comes hours after a United States-brokered 72-hour ceasefire between Sudan’s warring generals officially came into effect.
After facing pressure from citizens who have compared the situation to the chaotic evacuation of Britons after Afghanistan’s Taliban took control of Kabul in 2021, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed that the government has begun a large-scale evacuation of British passport holders from Sudan on RAF (Royal Air Force) flights.
