German military planes evacuate more than 400 from Sudan

Sudan's sudden slide into conflict between the army and a paramilitary group called Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has stranded thousands of foreigners, including diplomats and aid workers.

The Luftwaffe has flown out more than 300 people so far from an airfield near Khartoum, according to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, adding these included citizens from Germany, Belgium, Britain, the Netherlands, Jordan and the United States.
