Why Has the US Abandoned Thousands of Americans in Sudan?

The United States of America has abandoned thousands of Americans in Sudan, despite other countries being able to evacuate their own citizens from the war-torn country this week. Why is that? The White House hasn’t really offered to explain, other than to say that the intelligence suggested it was too dangerous.

Other Countries Have Evacuated Their Citizens

During a U.S.-negotiated 72-hour ceasefire in Sudan, countries such as France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Holland, and more have been able to facilitate travel for their nationals in the country. U.S. diplomatic staff were safely rescued, but for some reason, U.S. intelligence said it was too dangerous to try and evacuate any non-government Americans, of which there are an estimated 16,000 men, women, and children.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Evades Questions

When pressed on why the most powerful country in the world couldn’t evacuate more people, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not really answer on Thursday.

“Given the President’s direction and what you’re saying right now, a number of other countries have evacuated citizens over the course of the last several days and taken advantage of the ceasefire the U.S. helped put into place,” a reporter said during the daily press briefing. “The U.S. still has not. What is different about your risk assessment right now or security assessment than what other countries are looking at as they’ve gone in and gotten their people out?”

It’s a good question, but Jean-Pierre evaded it by suggesting that a direct answer would implicate foreign intelligence operations and security.

State Department Has Been Useless

But according to several Americans who have family members in Sudan trying to flee, the State has been mediocre.

“To be honest with you, the State Department was useless, utterly useless throughout this entire period,” one man whose parents were trying to escape Sudan said to CNN.

“We expected the Department to provide some kind of guidance, but the guidance was the template, just shelter in place, no critical information being provided,” he added.

The Biden Administration is Incompetent

The question remains, why was the U.S.’ handling of this so dismal as smaller nations managed it with ease?

Well, the answer is that the Biden administration is incompetent and filled with unqualified individuals. This administration prioritizes equity over excellence. Their focus is not safety, nor is it looking after the American citizen. Their main goal is transforming the federal government — domestic and foreign policy-wise alike — into a vehicle to turn the country into a socialist nation based on race and other immutable characteristics.

Biden, as opined yesterday, isn’t really in charge, and his underlings focus on everything except their actual job duties. So, that’s why the U.S. has been so behind the eight-ball on this. That ineptitude is going to get people killed — two Americans have already died in Sudan in recent weeks.
