Foreign Office tells British nationals to contact government officials in Port Sudan for further help FM: ‘We’ve coordinated the longest and largest evacuation of any Western country’ LONDON: The UK government has said the last evacuation flights from Sudan have left the country. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office said there would be no further planes after extra flights were laid on for people wishing to leave Sudan following a 72-hour ceasefire extension agreed earlier this week. The final UK flight from Sudan, which was delayed taking off by two hours, landed at Larnaca in Cyprus early Thursday morning. “The UK government is no longer running evacuation flights from Port Sudan. The last evacuation flight has now departed,” the FCO said in a statement. “We have a presence in Port Sudan at the Coral Hotel. If you are a British National in Port Sudan who needs assistance, please visit our team who may be able to signpost you to other options for departure. “We are closely monitoring the situation in Khartoum and other parts of Sudan where there are ongoing military clashes. “There is now fighting in various locations across Sudan. Khartoum International Airport is currently closed.” Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said 2,341 people, including 1,195 British nationals, had left Sudan on 28 flights organized by the UK. He added that Britain is maintaining a military presence in the Red Sea with the warship HMS Lancaster stationed in the region. He tweeted: “We’ve coordinated the longest and largest evacuation of any Western country. But the hard work in Sudan has not finished.”
