Fighting in Sudan between forces loyal to two rival generals has triggered a mass exodus of foreigners, while locals struggle to escape.
April 24, 2023, 6:11 AMPeople evacuated from war-torn Sudan arrive at a military airport in Amman, Jordan, on April 24, 2023., while locals struggle to escape.
A number of countries -- including the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, Italy, Germany, France and Canada -- airlifted and evacuated diplomats, embassy staff and others from Sudan's war-torn capital over the weekend. Both the U.S. and Canadian governments also announced temporary suspensions of operations at their embassies in Khartoum.
Abu Alala also posted photos that his family had shared showing stray bullets on the balcony and in the exterior walls of their home in Khartoum. He wrote in an earlier Facebook post that he was "very worried about what is happening" in his home country but that "we all saw it coming."
