The UK has reportedly been accused of delaying Germany’s efforts to evacuate its citizens from Sudan at the weekend.

The BBC reported that it was told by senior German political sources that Britain’s mission to extract its embassy staff led to a temporary blockade of the airfield near the capital Khartoum from which subsequent evacuation flights have taken off.
