Hundreds of Americans fleeing two weeks of deadly fighting in Sudan reached the east African nation’s port Saturday in the first US-run evacuation, completing a dangerous land journey under escort of armed drones.
US special operations troops briefly flew to the capital, Khartoum, on April 22 to airlift out American staffers at the embassy and other American government personnel.More than a dozen other nations had already been carrying out evacuations for their citizens, using a mix of military planes, navy vessels and on-the-ground personnel.
Since the conflict between two rival generals broke out April 15, the US has warned its citizens that they needed to find their own way out of the country, though US officials have tried to link up Americans with other nations’ evacuation efforts.But that changed as US officials exploited a relative lull in the fighting and, from afar, organized their own convoy for Americans, officials said.
