I thank HE @KagutaMuseveni for hosting me at State House today, as we build a partnership to work towards inclusive growth.

We must not forget Sudan.

H.E. @LisaJChesney presented her credentials to H.E. @KagutaMuseveni yesterday & emphasised her commitment to strengthen the UK’s bilateral relations with Uganda across various sectors.

[David Cameron @David_Cameron]

The Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act has increased violence and discrimination against LGBT+ people. I’m deeply concerned Uganda continues to roll back human rights. The UK will continue to stand up for a world where people are free from persecution, regardless of their sexuality.

Sky's @YousraElbagir is in Omdurman, Sudan's most populous city.

Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Defence Forces has destroyed the nation's largest street market - but the area isn't totally secure yet.

I know this is off subject, given what is going on in Gaza, but just a reminder that other wars haven’t gone away.

There have been reports of an attack with three fatalities on 17 October in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Western Uganda. The attackers remain at large. If you are in the area you should remain vigilant and follow the advice of the local security authorities or tour operator.

[UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC]

#HRC54 | Draft resolution A/HRC/54/L.18 on responding to the human rights & humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing armed conflict in the #Sudan was ADOPTED.

[Andrew Mitchell @AndrewmitchMP]

The UK is extremely concerned by the serious atrocities against civilians in Sudan. Intentionally directing attacks at the civilian population is a war crime. The UK will do all in its power to ensure there are credible investigations and accountability.

Appalling reports of ethnically motivated killings & sexual violence in Darfur. With my Troika partners I call on all parties: end the senseless violence in Darfur & elsewhere, protect civilians & allow essential humanitarian aid to reach millions in need

[Andrew Mitchell @AndrewmitchMP]

The UK strongly condemns heinous attacks on civilians in West Darfur, Sudan, incl killing of Governor Khamis Abaker. The atrocities must stop and humanitarian access granted. Reports of RSF involvement must be investigated. All parties are accountable for the crimes they commit.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

UK evacuation flights from Sudan will end tomorrow due to reduced demand.

British nationals still wishing to leave must get to Wadi Saeedna airfield by 12pm Sudan time tomorrow.

The UK has successfully evacuated more than 1500 people.

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

The UK government is coordinating an evacuation of British nationals from Sudan.

We have started contacting nationals directly and providing routes for departure out of the country.

This is Sudan.

[dalliasd (@dalliasd.bsky.social) @dalliasd]

Every village & town we passed thru people would come out with their kerkade (hibiscus) juice and cold water for the “Khartoum travellers”. Humbling experience cause they don’t have much but were offering plenty.
Why would I leave this?

[UK for Sudan 🇬🇧 @UKinSudan]

The UK strongly condemns the lootings, assaults and attacks on civilians and civilian buildings across Sudan, allegedly by security forces. These actions contradict claims by parties that they are defending the country and vulnerable civilians.
