A second American has died in Sudan, where rival military groups have fought for roughly the last two weeks. 'We extend our deepest condolences to the family,' National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said.
"We extend our deepest condolences to the family," National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said on Wednesday."We continue to make clear at the highest levels of our government the leadership of both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces that they are responsible for ensuring the protection of civilians and noncombatants, including people from third countries and humanitarian staff that are working to save lives.
"Although there are some reports of violence and sporadic shelling and firing, we’re glad to see that the levels of violence generally appear to have gone significantly down. We urge both military factions to fully uphold the ceasefire and to further extend it. We've said this many, many times that the violence is simply unconscionable, and it must stop. We've got to do what's right for the Sudanese people.
The deteriorating security situation in Khartoum prompted the U.S. and other Western countries to evacuate their embassy personnel.
