British nationals may be aware of unverified reports of independent convoys planning to depart Khartoum towards Port Sudan. The British Embassy has no involvement with these convoys and any British nationals who attempt to travel in one would do so at their own risk.
British nationals will also have seen that we have now evacuated the embassy due to the specific threat to diplomats. We will no longer be able to provide in-person or in-country consular support. We are running a 24/7 helpline (+44 1908 516666) and encourage British nationals to register your presence in Sudan.
Monitor this travel advice and other media as the situation is changing fast. You can also get email notifications when this travel advice is updated.
