US Conducts First Evacuation of Its Citizens From Sudan War

NTD: WASHINGTON—Hundreds of Americans fleeing two weeks of deadly fighting in Sudan reached the east African nation’s port Saturday in the first U.S.-run evacuation, completing a dangerous land journey under escort of armed drones.

American unmanned aircraft, which have been keeping an eye on overland evacuation routes for days, provided armed overwatch for a bus convoy carrying 200 to 300 Americans over 500 miles, or 800 kilometers, to Port Sudan, a place of relative safety, U.S. officials said.

The United States, which had none of its officials on the ground for the evacuation, has been criticized by families of trapped Americans in Sudan for initially ruling out any U.S.-run evacuation for Americans who wanted out, calling it too dangerous.

U.S. special operations troops briefly flew to the capital, Khartoum, on April 22 to airlift out American staffers at the embassy and other American government personnel. Several thousand U.S. citizens were left behind, many of them dual-nationals. more here

  1. Some are “Sudanese-Americans”? Why are they there? Why are any Americans living in a ****hole country in the first place? Why do we need an embassy in that dump, anyway?

  2. The plane will be over-run by illegal, Sudanese muslim terrorists, hundreds of Americans will be left behind due to aircraft weight limits.
    Biden will have John Kirby tell us they chose to stay.

    Sound familiar?

  6. It all started with hyphen African-American (who are not and have never been African).
    Just as I am not Irish-, English-, Scottish-, western European-American.
    Some immigrants want to be identified with a Hyphen.

    Either you are American or NOT.
