Brits trapped in war-torn Sudan ‘forced to fend for themselves’ & ‘kill pets’ after being left behind in SAS evacuation

MORE than 4000 British citizens remain trapped in battle-weary Sudan after being left behind from an extraction mission this weekend. Now desperate to survive after other nations managed to rescue their citizens, some Brits have been forced to kill their own pets to save the poor animals from starving as the conflict rages on.

There is very little water left, there is very little food.  “I’m even hearing stories of people killing their pets because they are worried they are going to starve. People are terrified. “And across the world, there are very limited evacuations going on because of the complexities on the ground.” Many Brits were only spoken to via mass text by the government, with a message from the Foreign Office advising them to remain indoors and register their whereabouts. UK diplomats have been evacuated by British Special Forces, with Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace citing 1200 military personnel taking part in the mission. But many have criticised the quick rescue of diplomats while citizens are left to sit at home and wait for further instructions. Kearns continued: “As a former foreign office diplomat you are the last person out. “However, there was a meaningful risk to the lives of British diplomats and that’s why we saw all of our allies lift out their diplomats. But now the focus has to shift towards getting out British nationals.” A bloody power struggle between rivalling Sudan militaries has led to heavy bombardment of the city, leaving 400 dead and 3,500 injured. British-Sudanese writer Rozan Ahmed cowered under a bed for six hours. She asked: “If there is no plan to get me out, please say why? “We have received no information as to our evacuation. “I am alive only by the grace of God and by the strength of my family. “There are rogue soldiers in the streets raiding homes. “We are terrified to a point where we have gone numb.” Iman Abu Garga, a Brit visiting Khartoum, said she registered herself and her two children with the British Embassy last week as instructed — but has heard nothing since. She said: “We have no idea about timescale, or what it will look like.” The Sun has reached out to the Foreign Office for further comment regarding the evacuation of British citizens from Sudan.
