Sudan
Does anyone ponder why so many British passport holding Sudanese are in Sudan?
One chap on the front page of today's Telegraph is weeping because he had left his wife & son there when he boarded the plane.

He is described as a taxi-driver; I was wondering how a British taxi-driver can afford the time & money to take his family for a visit to Sudan, - any ideas please?

The UK passport states, "His/Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of His/Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary."
Does, "such assistance and protection as may be necessary", not include evacuation to the UK, as the result of civil war?

british citizens are not lemmings who exist to serve the state… the UK government has a duty of service to all those who are UK citizens. our government exists to serve us, not the other way around… a country which was arranged in the opposite way would be a fascist one and i would encourage anyone who agrees with davebro to move to Russia or perhaps Hungary… both are nearby countries which conduct themselves in a way that is far more consistent with your values and you will be much happier
a person who leaves the uk does not forego their connection to this place or the right to return if they want to… those who think they should need to really think about the human consequences in the real world

i don’t know davebro… i do not know how he was separated from his family so it is impossible for me to say what i would have done… families are however very often separated in circumstances of war… i truly hope that you or i never have the misfortune of experiencing it but if we did i imagine you would change your tune pretty quickly
I think if British passport holders choose to live in an unstable dangerous place like Sudan, they should bear the consequences.
I am with you on this. very cheap when they arent murdering each other.
You know in our gloorious days of EMpire, it was the anglo-egyptian Sudan? Days of Nasser, the Sudanese said no thanks, and the Egyptians left. And the murdering began. Do you remember Numeiry. you dont? it doesnt surprise me.
I tried to do an elective in Khartoum ( 1975) Theydidnt answer

untitled; Looking at the photograph, he looks to me like a Ugandan (am I not supposed to say that?) as I suppose is his wife & child. He may have a British passport but he wants them all to live in Sudan where he prefers to be, eschewing British life & benefits (maybe ?)
I think we should know, bringing them back to what? These & surely many others are not trapped holiday-makers are they?
