Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, spoke out in the House of Commons to highlight the cases of Westminster residents stuck in Sudan.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Nickie said,
"I am aware of a number of Westminster residents who are still stuck in Sudan, scattered across the country, having not been able to get to Khartoum to secure passage on one of the flights out. Can my right hon. Friend advise on what further steps the Foreign Office can take to evacuate British nationals and UK work permit holders who are still stuck in Sudan and want to leave?"
Responding, Minister for Africa, Andrew Mitchell MP, replied,
"As we speak, British officials are still operating in Port Sudan, helping British citizens to leave. It is very important that the full details of any citizens in Westminster whom my hon. Friend knows about are given to the Foreign Office, and we will give them all the advice we can."
If you're in Sudan, or know someone who is, get the latest advice from the Foreign Office here.
