Diplomats and nationals from the UK, US, France and China are to be 
evacuated from Sudan by air as fighting there continues, a statement from 
the Sudanese army says.

Army chief Fattah al-Burhan agreed to facilitate and secure their 
evacuation "in the coming hours", it said.

He is locked in a bitter power struggle with the leader of a rival 
paramilitary faction, the Rapid Support Forces.

Saudi Arabia confirmed it had evacuated over 150 people from Sudan on 
Saturday.

Among those evacuated were diplomats and international officials, the 
Saudi Arabian foreign ministry said.

It said it had safely transported 91 Saudi Arabian citizens, as well as 66 
others from various other countries including Qatar, Pakistan, the UAE and 
Canada. They were evacuated by sea, state TV channel Al-Ekhbariyah 
reported. It is unclear where in Sudan they were evacuated from.

Meanwhile, the UK government said it was preparing for "a number of 
contingencies".

But fierce fighting in the city centre on Saturday made it unclear how 
evacuations from Khartoum's airport could take place.

People in Khartoum who have been speaking to the BBC described intense 
fighting in the city centre on Saturday.

A statement from the Sudanese army said British, US, French and Chinese 
nationals and diplomats would be evacuated by air on board military 
transport planes from the capital, Khartoum.

The UK government said it was "doing everything possible to support 
British nationals and diplomatic staff in Khartoum".
