Evacuation attempts in Sudan deemed unsafe by top US official.

Due to the ongoing violence in Sudan, it is unsafe to conduct another coordinated evacuation for remaining U.S. citizens, according to John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications. The U.S. State Department confirmed that the U.S. Embassy in Sudan has temporarily closed and said it is unable to offer routine or emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in Sudan due to the ongoing security situation. Violence broke out earlier this month due to a disagreement between two generals over how to consolidate their forces, which has resulted in over 400 deaths, including one U.S. citizen, and multiple failed ceasefire attempts.
