The Sudanese armed forces are making efforts to safely evacuate non-Sudanese individuals and embassy staff from the war-torn country. According to the army, attempts to systematically evacuate US, UK, Chinese, and French embassy workers via military planes are underway.
Army Chief Abdul Fattah Al-Burhan has stated that he has spoken with leaders of several countries and has requested for the safe evacuation of their citizens. However, the central international airport in Khartoum has become a target of intense gunfire, where military aircraft will be necessary.
