Thousands of Americans are stranded after U.S. special operations forces evacuated U.S. Embassy staff and families from the Sudan warzone.
In mid-April, fighting erupted between two rival military groups in Sudan, creating a warzone throughout the nation. Over 16,000 U.S. citizens remain in Sudan as the fighting continues, according to ABC News.
Fighting damaged Sudan’s essential infrastructure and airport, making evacuation difficult. Ambassador John Bass, State Department’s Under Secretary for Management, said Saturday, “We don’t anticipate those security conditions [in Sudan] are going to change in the near term, even though we’re going to continue to do everything we can to bring this fighting to a conclusion.
