Foreigners still stuck in Sudan are now taking drastic action in order to survive. According to one British lawmaker, some have even started slaughtering their pets as food supplies run out.
On Sunday, military aircraft from countries in Europe and the Middle East arrived in Sudan to extract their citizens and diplomats. The planes followed an operation conducted by U.S. special forces to evacuate the American embassy.
“It’s unconscionable and must stop,” Biden added. Thousands of private American citizens still remain inside the country, though a government-organized evacuation is not currently planned for them. Over the weekend France evacuated almost 400 people to Djibouti, while a Dutch C-130 Hercules plane took its nationals to Jordan. Germany has also taken over 300 people to Jordan on evacuation flights, while several hundred more were taken out by Italy, Spain, and Greece. Japan has sent three aircraft to Djibouti to collect its citizens from Sudan, while Russia says evacuation plans for its own nationals are currently impossible to execute as they involve crossing frontlines.
Fighting erupted in Khartoum and other areas around Sudan earlier this month as two military factions started battling to take control of the country. The conflict between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces has plunged the country into chaos, with civilians, diplomats, andOver 420 people have been killed so far with another 3,700 injured. Some 264 civilians are among the dead.
