Another U.S. evacuation attempt from Sudan wouldn't be safe, top U.S. official says
CBSMAY 2023
The humanitarian situation in Sudan has reached a breaking point. Essential goods are becoming scarce, and families struggle to access water, food, fuel, and other critical supplies. Vulnerable people are unable to leave worst-hit areas as transportation costs have risen exponentially, and those injured in the violence find it difficult to access urgent healthcare. The violence must cease immediately.
Sudan's geographic location at the juncture of the Indian Ocean, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and the Arab world makes it central to regional stability. If the conflict continues, it could spread to neighboring countries, with Russia and the US potentially becoming involved. The violence must end, but this is a tinderbox with now easy off-ramps.
