Birgitte Davy, who has been working as a human resources specialist in the capital for four year, has been trapped in a compound where she took refuge with seven other South Africans for more than a week now.

CAPE TOWN - A South African woman stuck in war-torn Sudan said she and more than 50 other compatriots are desperate to return home as heavy combat in Khartoum continues.

A partial ceasefire this weekend saw many locals flee Khartoum, and foreigners are now beginning to make their way home too."We ask for prayer. Our data is very unreliable and we're rationing our food and we just pray that the South African government will be able to bring an evacuation flight for us."
