France has evacuated more people from Sudan, the French foreign ministry said on Thursday,
It added that those evacuated included not only French nationals but also Britons, Americans, Canadians, Ethiopians, Dutch, Italians, and Swedes.
The French government added it had so far evacuated a total of 936 people from Sudan.
Britain has also urged its nationals to “move now” as they may not be able to continue evacuating in Sudan when a ceasefire ends.
The ceasefire is due to happen later on Thursday, according to foreign minister James Cleverly said.
The minister urged them to try to reach British flights out of the country immediately.
“Now is the time to move because when the ceasefire ends, my ability to give the kind of limited assurance I can give now might go and we might not be able to evacuate,” Cleverly told Sky News television. (Reuters/NAN)
