UK Evac. Britain's elite forces, including SAS and Royal Marines, rescued United Kingdom diplomats and their families from Sudan amid bloody conflict between the country's army and a powerful paramilitary group. British soldiers linked up with the UK personnel where they were 'sheltering' at the UK embassy and accompanied the group on an 18-mile journey to an airfield. They infiltrated during the night -flown in on an American aircraft. Then they got hold of several local vehicles and drove into Khartoum where they linked up with the diplomatic staff. Once linkup was effected, the party of soldiers and about 30 evacuees drove to an airfield located outside of the city and boarded two Royal Air Force transport planes that had arrived from Cyprus.
