To be fair, the article states that many are dual citizens. Still, it stinks that the American Consulate and the State Department are of no help whatsoever.

Quote:Update(1302ET): Sudan is continuing to stare into the abyss of full-blown civil war as the battle for control of the capital of Khartoum between two rival generals - now reaching the two week mark - results in a mounting death toll. Currently, dozens of countries have for days been racing to get their citizens out via military transport planes, ships, and via cross-border land routes into Ethiopia and neighboring countries, but not the United States.

A surprisingly blunt report voicing intense criticism toward the Biden administration has been issued by CNN Friday, which writes, "As the crisis in Sudan continues to unfold, there is mounting anger among Americans who feel abandoned by the US government and left to navigate the complicated and dangerous situation on their own."

CNN further points out that robust evacuation efforts are underway by many other countries. As we detailed below, a C-130 evac flight sent by Turkey even took on small arms fire while landing outside the capital. And the Chinese government has said it has successfully evacuated at least 1,300 of its nationals thus far, with state media confirming evacuation operations ongoing by "land and sea".

Quote:Meanwhile, Chinese media pundits are mocking and gloating...

Quote:A massive foreign evacuation effort involving many countries sending military transport planes has continued for the better part of a week. The United States administration, however, has said that it is not conducting a large-scale evacuation operation for the estimated 16,000 US citizens who live in Sudan, many of them dual nationals who have made the country their home.

We need to do what China is doing - send in a bunch of ships to get our people out of there.

Cartoonist has his own take on the situation.

I mean, come on.

1) You're in the Sudan.
2) Biden is in charge.

WHAT THE #@&% DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN ???

C-130 Takes Fire During Evacuation Mission, Systems Damage Reported

My Dad was supposed to go to China for work. My sisters and I asked him if he wanted to be in a potentially hostile country with Biden in charge. He did not go

From the article below:

The debate over what support to provide has stoked new questions on whether top Biden administration officials properly heeded widespread warnings that fighting could erupt in Sudan in the weeks and days leading up to the conflict.

It has led to a mood of anger and recrimination in Washington among officials who work on East Africa policy, even as they work around the clock to respond to the crisis in Sudan and try to lock in a cease-fire to aid Sudanese civilians. “The warning signs were all there, even if the people at the top didn’t appreciate it until after $h1t hit the fan,” one official said.

Lawmakers have urged Biden to avoid another Afghanistan situation, where a massive airlift in late 2021 evacuated tens of thousands but left many other Americans and Afghan allies behind as the Taliban took over the country.

US CITIZENS STUCK IN SUDAN MUST TOLERATE THE HALF A$$ EVAC EFFORT OF THE BIDEN* ADMINISTRATION.

Many people aren’t happy with Biden, including democrats.

But they refused to hold him accountable during the midterm, so what does it matter?

"Let's keep digging that hole," is their only solution.

Send another billion to ukraine

Rumor is when Biden was asked about this he said "How can they not get out of a car with 4 doors?"

That's giving him too much credit intellectually.

This is KJP's 'clarification' of what he said...

What he actually said was... 'How can they not get out of the thing with the, c'mon guys... who wants ice cream? Can I smell your hair?"

In support, Harris said... 'You have to be able to get to where you're going, in order to get where you're going... from the perspective of yesterday, today... AND tomorrow..... HA hahahahahahahahahahahhahha cackle ha"

I can actually visualize the scatter brained Biden* saying that when he was first apprised of the Sudan issues. Then it continues along this path:

State Dept: Mr. President, we are talking about Sudan; the country in Africa.

Biden*: Americans can't get out of cars over there?

State Dept: Mr. President, Americans cannot get out of the country of Sudan.

Biden*: Well, trying to drive out of there is stupid. Tell them flying is quicker. One of you get me a 2 scoop chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone. Anyone else want ice cream?

We are the laughing stock of the free world.

Don't travel to a shithole country

Why is it the responsibility of our government to make evacuations of people in other countries?

You voluntarily left this country, it is your responsibility to take care of yourself. The government has the responsibility of government officials and employees, that's it.

That's actually a really good point.
