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.

Just read....16,000 Americans trapped in Sudan.
Yes, KarTomb, ...

More properly, control of the East Coast of Africa gives control of the Shipping Corridors off that Coast by means of the suppression or direction of Piracy.

They probably have the intelligence of plants.
If only Pete Bootyjuggs was in charge! I hear he never leaves his friend's behind....

Not much paperwork in embassies these days. They would have shredded what was there in preparation and destroyed hard drives. Visa foils would be destroyed and passport blanks taken with them.
Embassies drill this fairly often.
No shots were fired and no major casualties were reported.
Seems the teachers who teach the children of Embassy staff were not on the list to be rescued. DM has a story up on teacher from International School who has been hiding in her apartment with her toddler, for two days now.
This was all a set up …… just sayin.
I hope you’re right, but I just don’t have a lot of faith in this administration to do things the right way.
ABC is saying they weren’t 100 Special Forces, they were Special Operations Forces although there may have been some Special Forces involved, we don’t know yet.
Yep, Special Operations, they 'specialize' in the Abandonment of Americans.
“”Yep, Special Operations, they ‘specialize’ in the Abandonment of Americans.””

Pretty sure the Deep Swamp has plans to show you.
