US aiding evacuation of Americans from Sudan amid violence.

The United States is facilitating the evacuation of private U.S. citizens from Sudan, using intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets to ensure safe travel by land from Khartoum to the Port of Sudan. The U.S. is not considering peacekeeping troops but is using diplomatic facilities in neighboring countries to help Americans with their onward travel. Foreign governments have already airlifted hundreds of their diplomats and citizens to safety as the country has spiraled into chaos amid fierce fighting between Sudan’s two rival generals vying for control of the country.
