Countries Rush High-risk Sudan Evacuation, Amid Fierce Fighting

The eruption of fighting on April 15 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group has triggered a humanitarian crisis, killed 420 people, leaving 3700 injured and trapped millions of Sudanese without access to basic services.

Battles continue to rage in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere between troops loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed “Hemedti” Hamdan Daglo, commander of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Earlier, the United States evacuated about 100 of its diplomatic staff and subsequently suspended operations at the Embassy in Khartoum.
