Many countries are rushing to extract their citizens from Khartoum amid a deadly power struggle between the army and a paramilitary force.
Sweden said that all its embassy staff in Khartoum, their families and an unspecified number of other Swedes had been evacuated to nearby Djibouti.
Sudan's sudden slide into conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has seen hundreds of people killed, and stranded thousands of foreigners, including diplomats and aid workers. The German air force has flown out 311 people so far from an airfield near Khartoum, the military said, and the first batch was brought back to Berlin on Monday aboard an Airbus A321 from the Al Azrak base in Jordan, which is being used as a hub for the evacuation operation.
The fighting in Sudan has triggered a humanitarian crisis in the impoverished country, where millions of people have been left without access to basic services.
