US Embassy Evacuation Completed Amidst Sudan Fighting and Natural Disasters

President Joe Biden announced the completion of the evacuation of US embassy personnel in Sudan, calling for an end to the violence in the country. The embassy in Khartoum has been closed indefinitely due to the dire security situation. The US has no current plans for a government-coordinated evacuation of an estimated 16,000 other Americans remaining in Sudan, calling the situation too dangerous. Biden thanked the US troops who carried out the mission and also thanked Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia for their help.
