Several individuals are stuck in the capital of Sudan because of the harrowing onslaught of urban warfare that additionally rendered multiple routes and the airport inaccessible. The rival military leaders ignored declared ceasefires despite constant reminders by the U.N. and foreign states.
Biden said in a statement, “This tragic violence in Sudan has already cost the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians,” adding, “It’s unconscionable, and it must stop.” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighted that “all U.S. personnel and their dependents” have been evacuated and that constant assistance will be given to Americans in Sudan to keep them safe.
A resident from Bahri mentioned that there had been no water or electricity for one week with the augmenting air strikes, “We are waiting for the big fight. We are terrified of what’s coming,” she added.
