According to the US Department of State, about 16,000 American nationals are currently in Sudan. The US Embassy in Khartoum had an excessive staff strength – on par with its Mission in Kiev – which was unwarranted by the scale and volume of US-Sudanese bilateral ties, leading to speculation that it was a key intelligence outpost.

In a nutshell, the crux of the matter is that the Western understanding of stability and sustainable development in Sudan through the prism of the neocon ideology that permeates the Biden administration lies at the core of the aggravation of the sluggish internal political crisis in Sudan that has been brewing since 2019 between the army led by the de facto leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and armed formations led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo.
The immature, unrealistic political settlements promoted by the Western liberal democracies significantly fueled the military’s infighting.
The Anglo-American dealmaking was largely limited to the Transition Military Council and the Forces for Freedom and Change, an inchoate coalition of hand-picked civilian and rebel Sudanese groups (Sudanese Professional Association, No to Oppression Against Women Initiative, etc) that by no means represented the national forces in Sudan.
Unsurprisingly, these neocon attempts at imposing exotic settlements on an ancient civilization were doomed to fail.
The spin propagated by the Western media reduces the present crisis in Sudan – manifesting it as conflict within the military establishment – is a grotesque oversimplification and attempt at a cover-up. Simply put, this crisis cannot be reduced to a personal dispute between the two generals – Burhan and Hemedti – who had been friends for a very long time.
The crisis can be resolved only through a “security solution,” which means an integration process involving the Rapid Support Forces in an appropriate manner as a political partner in governance, not just a military force affiliated with the army.
Lest it is forgotten, Sudan is a vast country of great ethnic and regional diversity, inhabited by something like 400-500 tribes. The country’s stability depends critically on an optimal model of interaction between the elites and clans.
Local Miami media actually reported Biden was doing a fine job surrendering the embassy. Also noted...get this...16,000 Americans are being left behind but according to local media, many of these people DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE SUDAN.
What do I see? I see a media taking Democrat party talking points and LYING. The country isn’t safe enough for American diplomats under military protection, but US citizens are happy to hang around during a bloody civil war.
BS.
Many of the “16,000 Americans” are Sudanese-American dual passport holders.
Yep, the Deep State lookin' for gold, 'cause their bogus fiat currency scam is failing fast, thanks to Putin and the BRICS Boys.
It’s all about the government getting too friendly with Russia and a Russian port.
The west bringing democracy to the world...again.
So what? They, probably even you, said the same about the Americans we left behind in Afghanistan. It looked to me, that a lot tried to get out anyway they could from Afghanistan, even trying to hold onto a jet aircraft. Sick, sick sick.
“...leading to speculation that [Kharoum] was a key intelligence outpost.” Following the location of Zawahiri in the Sudan in the early nineteen nineties by a single military-CIA operative, the failures of American intelligence operating in, from and on the Sudan are legion: From Susan Rice on down to CIA boobs of the present era.
