Sudan on 14:59 - Apr 28 with 2186 views | JACKMANANDBOY | I listened to an idiot reporter on the BBC on Wednesday saying that the Government had refused to offer any spare places on planes to anyone wanting to leave Sudan regardless of nationality. Can you imagine the problems at the airfield if anyone could turn up on the off chance. | |

Depends on who you listen to. There are reports that we went in before the Sudanese gave permission which led to the closure of the airport and a blockade by the Sudanese army. Matter was resolved after a lengthy delay, negotiations and a pay off to the Sundanese army. For those who weren’t aware, Wagner Group are out in Sudan (and have been for some time) and are supporting the RSF. | | | |

Who would travel to a war zone then complain the UK were only evacuating UK passport holders. [Post edited 29 Apr 2023 7:18]

The largest evacuation of Western citizens successfully completed. Wonderfully job by our armed forces and government even if our civil servants at the embassy were the first to leave. | |

Who are here legally working in our NHS and saving UK lives but not worthy of a place on a plane? It's very poor in my opinion. | | | |
