According to a tweet from UK defense minister Ben Wallace, “the US, France and other allies” participated in the military action with the UK forces.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the evacuation of UK embassy personnel and their families from Sudan by the British military forces as fighting broke out between competing Sudanese generals on Sunday.

As violence and threats against embassy workers significantly increased, Sunak tweeted that “UK armed forces have completed a complex and rapid evacuation of British diplomats and their families from Sudan.”

The government is “continuing to pursue every avenue to end the bloodshed in Sudan and ensure the safety of British nationals remaining in the country,” the prime minister stated.

According to a tweet from UK defense minister Ben Wallace, “the US, France and other allies” participated in the military action with the UK forces.

More than 1,200 soldiers, Royal Marines, and members of the Royal Air Force participated in the UK mission, he continued.

More than 400 people have died and tens of thousands have been injured in brutal clashes between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary organization, which included tank combat in densely populated Khartoum and airstrikes by fighter jets.
