Some of the posts talk about no visa being required if transiting within 6 hours. According to
http://www.worldtravelguide.net/sudan/passport-visa
"
Visas for Sudan are required by all nationals referred to in the chart above, except transit passengers continuing there journey from Sudan within 24 hours."
Can anyone say for sure whether I need to get a visa beforehand. The London Embassy offers a Transit Visa for 1-7 days stay but I have no idea how long it takes to get it.
This is what Timatic has to say, though the requirement for the onward carrier to report the transit to immigration authorities might be problematic:
