U.S. diplomatic staff and families evacuated from Sudan as fierce fighting continues
The United States completed the evacuation of U.S. Embassy personnel and their families from Sudan, people familiar with the matter said late Saturday.
In a statement, the Sudanese Armed Forces said that its leader, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, had agreed to facilitate and secure the evacuation of foreign nationals from the capital, Khartoum, after requests from multiple countries. The army said those nations, including the United States, would use their own military aircraft to evacuate citizens and diplomatic staffers, even as the main airport in Khartoum remained closed.
“It is not currently safe to undertake a U.S. government-coordinated evacuation of private U.S. citizens,” the embassy said on Twitter.
