The final UK evacuation flight is expected to take off from Sudan on Wednesday, the foreign secretary has announced. James Cleverly urged British nationals still wanting to leave the war-torn nation to make their way to Port Sudan. It was previously thought the evacuation airlift had ended on Monday when planes left Sudan for Cyprus. In updated guidance on its website, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said on Tuesday: “The UK government will run final evacuation flights from Port Sudan on 3 May. If you plan to leave Sudan, you should arrive at the Coral hotel in Port Sudan by 10am on 3 May to be processed to travel. After that, no further British evacuation flights will operate from Port Sudan.” Cleverly tweeted: “After the successful evacuation of 2,341 people on 28 flights, the last UK flight is expected to leave Port Sudan tomorrow. I urge British nationals still wishing to leave the country to go to the Coral hotel in Port Sudan and continue to follow our travel advice.” The international focus is shifting to preventing a wider humanitarian catastrophe in the region, and Cleverly warned that any further fighting would hamper relief efforts. The UN said the Sudanese army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his rival Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), had agreed to send representatives to the negotiation table in an attempt to establish a more stable truce. Burhan and Dagalo, both with powerful foreign backers, were allies in an October 2021 military coup that halted Sudan’s fraught transition to democracy, but they have since turned on each other.
