The U.S. has carried out its first evacuation of American citizens and permanent residents from Sudan since war broke out in the capital, according to the State Department. Diplomatic personnel at the U.S. Embassy were airlifted out days earlier.
FILE - Smoke is seen in Khartoum, Sudan, Wednesday, April 19, 2023. The U.S. conducted its first organized evacuation of citizens and permanent residents from Sudan, the State Department said Saturday, April 29, two weeks into a conflict that has turned Khartoum into a war zone and thrown the country into turmoil.
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. The U.S., 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 those among an estimated 16,000 Americans in Sudan who wish to leave.
