The U.S. military conducted an emergency evacuation of dozens of American government personnel from the capital in Sudan after the security situation in Khartoum grew too dangerous for the U.S. to maintain a presence there, White House officials said late Saturday.
Several U.S. military aircraft, flying in the early morning hours local time, were used to take American personnel from Khartoum to Camp Lemonnier in the East African nation of Djibouti. About 100 U.S. Special Forces took part in the mission to evacuate nearly 100 embassy personnel, American officials said.
