British High Commissioner to Cyprus Irfan Siddiq says people in Sudan have been asked 'to make their own way' to an airfield near Khartoum for evacuation.

He says people have been able to make the journey and he expects 'a lot more to come today'.

Support from the Republic of Cyprus Government for the evacuation of Brits from Sudan has been exceptional. Fantastic testament to the strength of the UK-Cyprus relationship.

Due to escalating threats against foreign diplomats, the UK has evacuated embassy staff from Sudan.

Our top priority remains the safety of British nationals.

We are working around the clock to broker international support to end the bloodshed in Sudan.
