All US government personnel were evacuated from Washington's embassy in Khartoum, as well as a small number of diplomatic personnel from other countries, US officials said on Saturday, as fighting rocks Sudan, Report informs via Reuters.
The operation evacuated fewer than 100 people, the officials told reporters.
"We evacuated all of the US personnel and dependents assigned to Embassy Khartoum," said Under Secretary of State for Management John Bass.
A substantial number of local staff remain in Khartoum supporting the embassy, where Washington decided to suspend operations on Saturday due to the security risks, Bass said.
Forces commanded by two previously allied leaders of Sudan's ruling council began a violent power struggle last weekend. Washington on Saturday repeatedly called on the parties to extend and expand a ceasefire for the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday to a sustainable cessation of hostilities.
Each side has accused the other of not respecting the truce.
The evacuation operation conducted on Saturday involved just over 100 U.S. special operations forces and began at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) when US aircraft, including three MH-47 Chinook transport helicopters, took off from a US base in Djibouti, stopped in Ethiopia to refuel, then flew the last three hours to Khartoum.
US forces spent just an hour on the ground in Sudan before taking off again, entering and exiting Sudan without being fired upon by the warring factions on the ground, the military said.
"We did not take any small-arms fire on the way in and were able to get in and out without issue," said Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, the director of operations at the military's Joint Staff.
The US does not anticipate the security situation in the country changing in the near term, Bass said, adding that Washington does not foresee coordinating a US government evacuation of American citizens in Sudan now or in coming days.
The US military is looking at options to offer Americans some assistance exiting Sudan, while stopping short of a US government-led evacuation, like the one it carried out in Afghanistan in 2021.
