Manchester doctor trapped in Sudan feels 'betrayed' as he's turned away from evacuation flight
A Manchester Royal Infirmary doctor trapped in war-torn Sudan says he feels 'betrayed' after he was turned away from an evacuation flight.
As of Thursday evening, the RAF had airlifted nearly 900 people from an airfield near the capital Khartoum. Khartoum International Airport has been shut for more than two weeks due to fierce fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. There are a large number of people in Sudan with ties to the UK, partially due to historical links between the two countries, reports the BBC. Sudan was controlled as a British colony between the 1890s and 1956, when it became independent.
