Various reports show that the U.S. government is actually conducting evacuations in Sudan, a sharp turn-around from last week.<\/p>\n
As countries wind down mass evacuations of their nationals from war-torn Sudan and the White House warns time is running out, the United States has undertaken its first effort to move hundreds of Americans citizens out of Khartoum, the capital.<\/p>\n
A government-organized convoy carrying U.S citizens, locally employed staff and nationals from allied and partner countries arrived at Port Sudan on Saturday, according to the State Department, which said Sunday that a second convoy had also arrived<\/p>\n
“We continue to assist U.S. citizens and others who are eligible with onward travel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where additional U.S. personnel are positioned to assist with consular and emergency services,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Almost 1,000 U.S. citizens have left Sudan since fighting broke out between Gens. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, Miller said Sunday.<\/p>\n
“Fewer than 5,000 US citizens who have sought guidance from the government,” he said.<\/p>\n

Not 100% sure of what he is trying to say, but it sounds like a relatively small number of our folks there wanted to trust trust using the government as their travel agent.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile,\u00a0 MSN Video<\/a> reports that USNS Brunswick (pictured above)\u00a0 has arrived at Port Sudan to assist with evacuation. There seem to be multiple convoys, as NBC reports armed drones escorting a convoy headed to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The unmanned aerial vehicles flew above a convoy of buses as they made the 500-mile journey from the African nation\u2019s capital, Khartoum, to Port Sudan on the country’s east coast, a U.S. official familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News.\u00a0Several hundred Americans were on board at least a dozen buses, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
