US claims Sudan too dangerous to evacuate Americans while rest of the world safely removes their citizens

The U.S. does not have a plan to evacuate its estimated 16,000 Americans still residing in Sudan, despite undergoing a special military evacuation for its diplomatic staff.

Instead, it advised the estimated 16,000 Americans believed to be in Sudan to remain sheltered in place.

While the U.S. says it's too dangerous to get its citizens out, other countries are proceeding with evacuations of their nationals including France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Holland, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Jordan, South Africa, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
