A diplomatic source from the French foreign ministry has told the BBC that evacuation operations are still ongoing, but 491 people have already been evacuated - including 196 French citizens.
"We cannot give an exact figure for the French citizens still in Sudan, as some have decided not to leave the country," the source added.
