Sudanese citizens say they can't escape because their passports are inside closed European embassies.
A number of Sudanese citizens are unable to escape fighting in their country because their passports are locked inside European embassies.
Speaking to the BBC on Sunday evening, he said he was angry and afraid: "I can hear the sound of guns from morning till night". He says when he phoned the emergency number for the Spanish embassy in Khartoum to ask for his passport back, "the woman who answered asked me 'are you Sudanese or Spanish?' When I told her I was Sudanese she hung up immediately".
"I had no response, no feedback, nothing from the Spanish embassy. My passport is very valuable, I need it to escape from this war. And what hurts the most is that I never got any replies." The Embassy of Sweden in Khartoum is also accused of failing to return passports before they evacuated their staff.
