Hi there,
Unfortunately, I can not say much more than what I wrote. The first guy in the consulate (in traditional Saudi dressing - if you happen to be there) was uncompromising and others told us he is not up for a smile. The second (in a suit) spoke English reasonably well and explained the situation as described above.
From what I heard in Khartoum, it seems still to be OK there. Hope that somebody can confirm again from very recent experience!
Greetings,
Achim
