According to McDaid, his family had to decide on the spot where they were hiding quickly because it was no longer secure. They therefore opted to leave.

After escaping from Sudan, Brian McDaid, an Irishman, has returned to his hometown of Londonderry.
He was compelled to take refuge in a cellar in Khartoum with his family while gunfire and shelling pounded the city.
McDaid was a teacher at an international school in Sudan when the Spanish military removed him and his family.
According to McDaid, who holds an Irish passport, Irish officials called him on Sunday morning and instructed him to travel to the Spanish ambassador's residence in Khartoum.
The travel to the airport, he claimed, was "one of the most stressful journeys I have ever made" on BBC Radio Foyle.
A small mortar dropped and fell maybe three meters from one of the cars before we left our neighborhood, and I thought, "This can't be happening," he added.
