Newsmax ^ | April 23, 2023 | AP

U.S. special operations forces carried out a precarious evacuation of the American embassy in warring Sudan on Sunday, sweeping in and out of the capital, Khartoum, with helicopters on the ground for less than an hour. No shots were fired and no major casualties were reported.

With the last U.S. employee of the embassy out, Washington shuttered the U.S. mission in Khartoum indefinitely. Left behind were thousands of private American citizens remaining in the east African country.

The rest are on their own.

Having been to the made up country of South Sudan, one has to wonder why they are there.

If they’re true believers I have no problem with that, per de. But they have to realize that they’re pissing up a rope.

That being said, just like Afghanistan, if you’re an American and you’re ignoring what is going on around you, you stay and now you’re trapped….I don’t have much sympathy for you.

Especially knowing full well, what this admin did in Afghanistan.

And I wonder how many weapons the troops were ordered to leave behind.
That’s another Biden thing.

Okay, how many are real US citizens—born and raised in the US—as opposed to in name only US citizens that also hold Sudan citizenship. The latter, if they chose to return to Sudan, should be stripped of citizenship. We need to stop being a citizenship of convenience, used in need.

For the next two years all American retreat operations should be subcontracted to the French.

Few Americans know or understand much about Africa, which is a continent larger than Europe and larger than North America. Few also do not know Sudan is larger than France, Germany, Spain and Italy combined, with a population near equal with Spain.

Both Russia and China are trying to step in on one side or the other in the internal conflict in Sudan, hoping to add Sudan to their strategic designs in Africa, which include control of the ocean shipping corridors using the coast of Sudan on the Red Sea. Egypt and a few other Arab states are also trying to have some influence with some parties in Sudan.

Shouldn’t even have been a military operation. I think they’re lying their tails off and these evacuees are “plants”.

Supposedly, the ambassador or his temp had a last out button or a remote to destroy the paperwork and equipment, asap after the ambassador or his temp pushed the button.
