The U.S. military evacuated American diplomats and their families from Sudan, the country’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said early on Sunday as fighting between rival commanders that has killed hundreds of civilians continued.
The operation, involving six aircraft, was carried out in coordination with the RSF, it said.
Separately, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters the U.S. military had successfully evacuated U.S. embassy personnel. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other foreign nationals began evacuating from a Red Sea port in Sudan on Saturday.
The bloody onslaught of urban warfare has trapped large numbers in the Sudanese capital, disabling the airport and rendering some roads impassable.
The United Nations and foreign states have urged rival military leaders to honour declared ceasefires that have mostly been ignored, and to open safe passage for fleeing civilians and the supply of badly needed aid.

Brownshorts, you’re doing a heck of a job.
Biden’s hits just keep on coming. I wonder if his handlers will wake him up to tell him.
Probably not.
Special Forces/Green Berets. That was so 60’s. You need them to evacuate an embassy? There is no need for them anymore. Regular troops can do it. They are ‘the elites’. Heard that term anywhere lately?
Good to hear
Has Biden called for U.S. combat troops to be sent to Sudan?
Another surrender by Biden
Why can’t they send in social workers? Surely they can expand beyond replacing police.
Does the writer really mean Special Forces or does he mean Special Operations Forces, with today’s writers who knows?
Picture looks like another Biden peaceful withdrawal like Afghanistan. Smoke in the background must be from global climate change that heats up the planet.
RE: I wonder if his handlers will wake him up to tell him.
Biden, startled and disoriented: “C’mon, man, President Obama will handle it. Who is Sue Dann, anyhow? Does she work for us? I’m going back to sleep. It’s 9pm in case you didn’t notice.”
Re: fighting between rival commanders
Which commander is supported by Iran, China, and the Radical Palestinians?
Give him time.
The solemnly sworn motto of the Biden White House is no American pawn left behind, unless doing so serves a vote getting purpose.♟️🎱
Oh, great. More war-hardened refugees for Europe.
Hillary to tweet later that this was an overreaction.
Thank you SF and all the support and logistics personnel involved. Leave Sudan to the chaos. It’s a regular occurrence over there.
Since the Foreign Service are all. for the most part, flaming leftist, I’d expect Brandog to do no less
