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.

Godfrey has big academic credentials.......NO MILITARY SERVICE.
He keeps his bug out bag next to him constantly, with a ready white flag in the embassy flag locker.
To evacuate the embassy?
Good thing biden was allowed to sleep. biden would have told the enemy when Our Guys would be there
That doesn't surprise me. All you gotta' do these days is know somebody, have a sugar mama or daddy at your job, or be willing to s*ck d*ck. From his picture, my guess is he's covered under all three.
Biden said the embassy had been temporarily closed but "our commitment to the Sudanese people and the future they want for themselves is unending."
I agree....hedoes not look like he could stare down a crowd of sword weilding , Alahwahoo Yakbar SUdanese.
Too bad we do not have more Chesty Pullers in the diplodink corps.
We shouldn’t be in Sudan. We shouldn’t be in Africa at all.
