Evacuation Challenges Persist for Americans in Sudan Amid Ongoing Fighting.

The US has negotiated a 72-hour cease-fire in Sudan and is working to create a committee to oversee a permanent cessation of hostilities and humanitarian arrangements in the country. While the US has successfully evacuated embassy personnel and their families, there are still some dozens of Americans believed to be in the country who are struggling to escape. The State Department is exploring ways to reestablish a diplomatic footprint in Sudan and is monitoring convoys transporting Americans and other foreign nationals away from Khartoum. The Biden administration is standing by its warning that Americans in Sudan should not expect a mass evacuation, but it is not completely off the table.
