fighting in the streets, some people have had to make their way through that in order to get to these airports, especially in the earlier days, so it is a difficult and dangerous journey and once you get to the airport, then you have to work out what flights you can get on because for some of them, they won t know what time the flight is supposed to leave or how many flights there will be. of course, we now know from the foreign office that a total of eight flights will have left sudan by the end of today. they will be carrying british nationals, but not everybody in sudan is able to access that information very easily, so that just gives you a sense of how difficult it will have been for most of the people who will be arriving here today and what a great sense of relief it will be for them to be here, but for many, probably still a lingering sense of anxiety, wondering what will happen to those who have stayed home, those who haven t been able to leave and of course wh ....
Having the right paperwork, so a is having the right paperwork, so a lot of people are making these long, difficultjourneys lot of people are making these long, difficult journeys to these airports, whether it is by bus or car or would have the means of transport they can find. as i mentioned, fuel is now becoming a problem in sudan, finding fuel. there are cars that are getting stolen, not for the car, but for the fuel because that is becoming increasingly a problem in sudan. so getting to the airport is, in itself, challenge and once people have got in there, some people are being turned away because they don t have the right paperwork. some families are being separated because some may be british citizens, while others are not, so that is another layer of challenge and difficulty. and of course there are the military checkpoints along the way and the rsf soldiers that people have said they do run into, some friendlier than others, so you never know what you are going to get. there i ....

Are organising their own informal patrols because there have been cases of looting and other violence in this vacuum of order. so we understand that there is some calm, but it is really difficult to get supplies. one of the big problems is actually fuel. we have heard reports of cars being stopped and people being robbed of their cars, not for their cars, but for the fuel because it is very difficult to get fuel and even for those people who are trying to get four of the border or trying to get four of the border or trying to get four of the border or trying to get through the airport, that is a basic requirement. now, there are buses taking people to airports and borders, but the price of these tickets has become extraordinary. we understand that a bus ticket can cost up to 500 us dollars. that is for about £400. that is a lot of money. there have been reports of women trying to sell gold on facebook so that they can get some money to find a way out of the country or find a way to th ....
