Irish citizens still trapped in Sudan are being urged to flee the war-torn country if possible as the situation becomes increasingly dangerous.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said that due to the “continued uncertainty” around the current ceasefire, those still in the country should consider their evacuation options. Officials have also warned that although they have extended the current Defence Forces-backed evacuation mission, this is only going to continue for as long is safe to do so.
