Sure would hate to be a US citizen in Sudan right now.
I read that many are still in Sudan, possibly by choice as they are dual citizens. But have to figure many were left hanging by the rapid pull-out of the Embassy.
On the government website below. I figure the advice is shelter in place.
Quote:
U.S. citizens in Sudan - On April 22, 2023, the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum suspended its operations (to include visa, passport and other routine consular services) until further notice.
To inform U.S. citizens of options to leave Sudan as security conditions permit, we need to know your information. If you are a U.S. citizen in Sudan, please fill out the following crisis intake form. (There is no need to submit this information again if you have already submitted information concerning yourself or a U.S. citizen family member to U.S. Embassy Khartoum). U.S. citizens seeking to depart Sudan can also call 1-888-407-4747 (in the United States) or +1 202-501-4444 (from overseas) for immediate assistance.
We encourage U.S. citizens to enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates and makes it easier for the U.S. Embassy to contact you in an emergency.
We understand that border crossings into neighboring countries is possible. Wait times at crossing points could vary widely and change quickly. The time frame to arrive at the land border also varies based on your geographic location, infrastructure conditions, and which border you wish to cross.
