First images from Sudan evacuation emerge, as US pulls out all diplomatic staff

The U.S. government has released photos of military operations in Sudan evacuating citizens and government employees trapped amidst the country's ongoing civil conflict.

United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), which has overseen the U.S. withdrawal, told Fox News, "All diplomatic staff have been evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum using rotary aircraft [and have been] returned via Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti."

Photos captured the arrival of U.S. Ambassador for the Republic of Sudan John Godfrey to Camp Lemonnier in neighboring Djibouti.

"At Lemounier, they also have access to fixed wing operations (runway for planes co-shared with other military and commercial activity in Djibouti)," AFRICOM continued. "Other U.S. citizens were transported over land to Port Sudan with onward departure from there with U.S. military overwatch."
