RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) — The Pentagon has deployed forces and is developing options to assist in the possible evacuation of U.S. Embassy personnel from Sudan, but the White House said Friday there are no plans for now for a broader pullout of the potentially thousands of other Americans from the African country where warring factions are in a violent conflict.
The troop moves by the U.S. military are intended “to ensure that we provide as many options as possible, if we are called on to do something. We haven’t been called on to do anything yet,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said at a news conference in Germany. Austin and U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, held meeting meetings with defense leaders from other countries to discuss additional support for Ukraine.
An estimated 16,000 private U.S. citizens are registered with the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum as being in Sudan. The State Department has cautioned that that figure probably is inaccurate because there is no requirement for Americans to register nor is there a requirement to notify the embassy when they leave.
“It’s absolutely imperative that U.S. citizens in Sudan make their own arrangements to stay safe in these difficult circumstances,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in Washington.
He added that “Americans should have no expectation of a U.S. government coordinated evacuation at this time. And we expect that that’s going to remain the case.”
For embassy staff, according to an American official, a small number of U.S. troops have begun arriving in the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti, where the U.S. is pre-positioning forces and equipment to assist in any potential evacuation. The official said Army soldiers are being tapped for the task.

“I missed the part where that’s my problem.”
— Joe Biden
Nope, the US will only evacuate and protect GloboHomoNazis, and Islamic Terrorists.
Should any American, anywhere, expect anything else under this administration?

Son, you’re on your own - Blazing Saddles
Just heard one american non-military civilian has been killed.
Shocker. Just leave them there to rot like the Jan 6 prisoners.
“What difference does it make?”
Well, we can expect that Biden will drone a car full of grade school children.
I heard the number of Americans stuck in Sudan was 13,000 but whether it is 13,000 or 16,000 the Biden Regime could care less if these souls perish in a war in Sudan or die from the clot shot, starvation, or a number of other nefarious reasons in the US as they work feverously to bring down the world’s population.
To quote that infamous harridan, Hitley,”What difference does it make?”
GMTA 😁
I’m actually surprised only because I’m thinking 90 percent of the americans living there are black.
Brandon is getting caught with his pants down more often than Bill Clinton!
“Don’t worry, citizens, the leaders who evacuated Afghanistan have your back.” I’d be looking for an express ticket out of town, myself.
Would not trust Admiral John Kirby to command a rowboat.
But, thankfully, we got plenty of money for the ukes.
Is all this why there was a regurgitation recently of the BS that “Trump’s deadline indirectly caused the deaths of the panicky refugees in Afghanistan” and Biden was a hero calmly at the helm but not to blame?
The new Sudan problem will be another test of a bumbling, dementia suffering incompetent old fool still dangerously in charge in DC.
Will there be staged photos of Kamala and the others in the Situation Room adoringly looking at Biden? Or photoshop the faces to replace old pictures of Eisenhower or FDR making decisions on WWII strategy.
Look no further than how Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan.
That’s for certain.
What if Americans are taken hostage as under Jimmy Carter in Iran?
