Americans in Sudan should not anticipate the US military's aid as fighting in the region remains ongoing. 'Americans should have no expectation of a US government coordinated evacuation at this time,' national security council coordinator John Kirby said.
Sudanese Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan’s military forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces led by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, have engaged in deadly clashes this week that have left hundreds killed and thousands injured."Americans should have no expectation of a US government coordinated evacuation at this time," national security council coordinator John Kirby told reporters on Friday."We expect that that's going to remain the case.
More than 400 people have been killed while another 3,500 have been injured in the fighting, the World Health Organization announced, according to the Washington Post. The State Department does not keep official tallies of Americans living abroad, though officials believe an estimated 16,000 American citizens are in Sudan, most of whom are dual nationals, and roughly 500 had contacted the US Embassy since the outbreak of fighting, according to CNN.
Burhan and Dagalo combined forces in 2021 to overthrow a coalition government, but the two sides have soured amid disputes over the integration of Dagalo’s fighters into the Burhan’s regular forces.

An estimated 16,000 private U.S. citizens are registered with the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum as being in Sudan. The State Department has cautioned that that figure probably is inaccurate because there is no requirement for Americans to register nor is there a requirement to notify the embassy when they leave.
